1 Timothy 5:13 Context
11But the yonger widowes refuse: for when they haue begunne to waxe wanton against Christ, they will marry, 12Hauing damnation, because they haue cast off their first faith. 13And withall they learne to bee idle, wandering about from house to house; and not onely idle, but tatlers also, and busibodies, speaking things which they ought not. 14I will therefore that the yonger women marry, beare children, guid the house, giue none occasion to the aduersary to speake reprochfully. 15For some are already turned aside after Satan.
