But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to grow wanton against Christ, they will marry;
All Commentaries on 1 Timothy 5:11 Go To 1 Timothy 5
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
As for the younger widows, admit them not into that number; for when they have grown wanton in Christ, which may signify in the Church of Christ, or as others translate, against Christ; when they have been nourished in plenty, indulging their appetite in eating and drinking, in company and conversation, in private familiarities, and even sometimes in sacrilegious fornications against Christ and their vows, they are for marrying again. See St. Jerome. (Witham)
