But refuse younger widows, for when they have grown wanton against Christ, they desire to marry;
Paul further states that to support the younger widow will encourage her to be idle. With time on her hands, she will be tempted to wander from house to house as a tattler or a busybody, speaking things which she ought not. He goes on in verse 14 to recommend that younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, and give no reason for the adversary to speak reproachfully. The woman who so occupies herself will not be guilty of any of the above transgressions, for she will fill her every day with the righteous deeds mentioned.
