1 Timothy 5:11 in Context — 1 Timothy 5

9 A viúva, para ser registrada, não deve ter menos de sessenta anos, e haver sido mulher de um marido.

10 Ela deve ter testemunho de boas obras: se criou filhos, se foi hospitaleira, se lavou os pés dos santos, se socorreu os aflitos, se seguiu toda boa obra.

11 Mas não admitas as viúvas jovens; porque, quando têm desejos sensuais contra Cristo, querem se casar;

12 e têm condenação, por haverem anulado a primeira fé.

13 E, além disso, também aprendem a andar ociosas de casa em casa; e não somente ociosas, mas também fofoqueiras e curiosas, falando o que não se deve.
