But refuse to enroll younger widows, for when their passions draw them away from Christ, they desire to marry
So I would have younger widows marry, bear children, manage their households, and give the adversary no occasion for slander.
Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good,
to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled.
