1 TIMOTHY 5:11 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;”
But refuse to enroll younger widows; for when their passions draw them away from Christ, they want to marry — the exclusion of younger widows (neōteroi chērai) rests on realistic psychology: their epithymia (desire/passion) pulls them toward remarriage (androgamein). Youth combined with unmet needs creates vulnerability.
