11 But you should exclude the younger widows from the list; for, when they grow restive under the yoke of the Christ, they want to marry, 12 and so they bring condemnation upon themselves for having broken their previous promise. 13 And not only that, but they learn to be idle as they go about from house to house. Nor are they merely idle, but they also become gossips and busy-bodies, and talk of what they ought not.
