That they may teach the young women to be sensible, to love their husbands, to love their children,
I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, rule the house, give no occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.
But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to grow wanton against Christ, they will marry;
The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as becomes holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
