1 Timothy 5:14-16
Contemporary English Version
14 I would prefer that young widows get married, have children, and look after their families. Then the enemy won't have any reason to say insulting things about us. 15 Look what's already happened to some of the young widows! They have turned away to follow Satan.
16 If a woman who is a follower has any widows in her family, she[a] should help them. This will keep the church from having that burden, and then the church can help widows who are really in need.
