1 Timothy 5:11 meaning and explanation
But refuse to enroll younger widows. For when their passions draw them away from Christ, they will want to marry,
1 Timothy 5:11, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Paul is writing to Timothy, who oversees the church at Ephesus, giving instructions about which widows the church should officially enroll and support. Younger widows are to be refused for this list, not because they are unwelcome, but because Paul observes that strong desires may later pull them away from the commitment they made, and they will want to marry.
