1 Timothy 5:13 in Context — 1 Timothy 5
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.
14 Quiero pues, que las que son jóvenes se casen, críen hijos, gobiernen la casa; que ninguna ocasión den al adversario para maldecir.
15 Porque ya algunas han vuelto atrás en pos de Satanás.
