1 Timothy 5:11-15 - 1599 Geneva Bible
11 But refuse the younger widows: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry.12 Having damnation, because they have broken the first faith.
13 And likewise also being idle they learn to go about from house to house: yea they are not only idle, but also prattlers and busybodies, speaking things which are not comely.
14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, and bear children, and govern the house, and give none occasion to the adversary to speak evil.
15 For certain are already turned back after Satan.
Father God, help me to understand Your word this morning. Reveal to me what You wish for me to understand. - Amen
Brethren:
Instruct the younger women to marry, (or remarry), and give a godly account of themselves, their households. Let them teach their children to love God and to run the household affairs so that there is no time for idle gossip. As the old saying goes, “idle hands makes the devils playground”
R.P. Woitowitz Sr.
“It is worthy remark, what attention the Holy Ghost hath shown to the honorable women, in every age of the Church, whom He had graciously regenerated, and made eminent for services to his household. What blessed characters are given to the Sarahs, and Rebekahs, and Rachels, and Deborahs, and Jaels, and Hannahs of the Old Testament Scripture: and how interesting the Maries, and Elizabeths, and Joannas, and Dorcases; and other holy women of the New? Mothers in Israel are among the excellent in the earth; and are handed down to us with such marks of blessed testimony as show, that their names are written in the book of life, and are enrolled among those of whom the world is not worthy.”
