1 Timothy 5:11
1 Timothy 5:11 English Standard Version 2016 (ESV)
But refuse to enroll younger widows, for when their passions draw them away from Christ, they desire to marry
1 Timothy 5:11-15 The Message (MSG)
Don’t put young widows on this list. No sooner will they get on than they’ll want to get off, obsessed with wanting to get a husband rather than serving Christ in this way. By breaking their word, they’re liable to go from bad to worse, frittering away their days on empty talk, gossip, and trivialities. No, I’d rather the young widows go ahead and get married in the first place, have children, manage their homes, and not give critics any foothold for finding fault. Some of them have already left and gone after Satan.
1 Timothy 5:11 King James Version (KJV)
But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry
1 Timothy 5:11 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
But refuse to put younger widows on the list, for when they feel sensual desires in disregard of Christ, they want to get married
1 Timothy 5:11 New Century Version (NCV)
But do not put younger widows on that list. After they give themselves to Christ, they are pulled away from him by their physical desires, and then they want to marry again.
1 Timothy 5:11 American Standard Version (ASV)
But younger widows refuse: for when they have waxed wanton against Christ, they desire to marry
1 Timothy 5:11 New International Version (NIV)
As for younger widows, do not put them on such a list. For when their sensual desires overcome their dedication to Christ, they want to marry.
1 Timothy 5:11 New King James Version (NKJV)
But refuse the younger widows; for when they have begun to grow wanton against Christ, they desire to marry
1 Timothy 5:11 Amplified Bible (AMP)
But refuse [to enroll the] younger widows, for when they feel their natural desires in disregard of Christ, they wish to marry again
