But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:

But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;

Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.

14
I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
15
For some are already turned aside after Satan.
