1 Timothy

1 Timothy 5:13–14

¹³At the same time they will also learn to be idle, going from house to house and being not only idle, but also gossips and busybodies, discussing things they should not mention .

¹⁴So I advise the younger widows to marry, have children, and manage their households, denying the adversary occasion for slander.
