1 Timothy 5:11 Context
9Let not a widow bee taken into the number, vnder threescore yeeres old, hauing bene the wife of one man, 10Well reported of for good works, if shee haue brought vp children, if shee haue lodged strangers, if she haue washed the Saints feet, if shee haue releeued the afflicted, if shee haue diligently followed euery good worke. 11But the yonger widowes refuse: for when they haue begunne to waxe wanton against Christ, they will marry, 12Hauing damnation, because they haue cast off their first faith. 13And withall they learne to bee idle, wandering about from house to house; and not onely idle, but tatlers also, and busibodies, speaking things which they ought not.
