1 Timothy 5:14 in Context — 1 Timothy 5

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.

16 Si algún fiel ó alguna fiel tiene viudas, manténgalas, y no sea gravada la iglesia; á fin de que haya lo suficiente para las que de verdad son viudas.
