1 Timothy 5:11 in Context — 1 Timothy 5

9 La viuda sea puesta en clase [especial], no menos que de sesenta años, que haya sido esposa de un [solo] marido.

10 Que tenga testimonio en buenas obras; si crió hijos; si ha ejercitado la hospitalidad; si ha lavado los pies de los santos; si ha socorrido á los afligidos; si ha seguido toda buena obra.

11 Pero viudas más jóvenes no admitas: porque después de hacerse licenciosas contra Cristo, quieren casarse.

12 Condenadas ya, por haber falseado la primera fe.

13 Y aun también se acostumbran [á ser] ociosas, á andar de casa en casa; y no solamente ociosas, sino también parleras y curiosas, hablando lo que no conviene.
