提摩太前书5:11-15
11至于年轻的寡妇,就可以辞她。因为她们的情欲发动,违背基督的时候,就想要嫁人。12她们被定罪,是因废弃了当初所许的愿。13并且她们又习惯懒惰,挨家闲游。不但是懒惰,又说长道短,好管闲事,说些不当说的话。14所以我愿意年轻的寡妇嫁人,生养儿女,治理家务,不给敌人辱骂的把柄。15因为已经有转去随从撒但的。
11The younger widows should not be on the list, because their physical desires will overpower their devotion to Christ and they will want to remarry. 12Then they would be guilty of breaking their previous pledge. 13And if they are on the list, they will learn to be lazy and will spend their time gossiping from house to house, meddling in other people’s business and talking about things they shouldn’t. 14So I advise these younger widows to marry again, have children, and take care of their own homes. Then the enemy will not be able to say anything against them. 15For I am afraid that some of them have already gone astray and now follow Satan.
