1 Timotius 5:11-12

5:11 But do not accept younger widows on the list, ¹  because their passions may lead them away from Christ ²  and they will desire to marry, 5:12 and so incur judgment for breaking their former pledge. ³ 

[5:11]  ¹ tn Grk “refuse younger widows.”

[5:11]  ² tn With a single verb and object, this clause means “pursue sensuous desires in opposition to Christ.”

[5:12]  ³ tn Grk “incurring judgment because they reject their first faith.”

[5:12]  sn The pledge refers most likely to a vow not to remarry undertaken when a widow is put on the list (cf. 1 Tim 5:9).
