11But to the younger widows say No: for when their love is turned away from Christ, they have a desire to be married;
12And they are judged because they have been false to their first faith;
13And they get into the way of doing no work, going about from house to house; and not only doing no work, but talking foolishly, being over-interested in the business of others, saying things which they have no right to say.
14So it is my desire that the younger widows may be married and have children, controlling their families, and giving the Evil One no chance to say anything against them,
16If any woman of the faith has relations who are widows, let her give them help, so that the care of them does not come on the church, and so it may give help to those who are truly widowed.
17Let rulers whose rule is good be honoured twice over, specially those whose work is preaching and teaching.
