Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Timothy 5:11
But younger widows refuse: for when they have waxed wanton against Christ, they desire to marry;Our interpretation of this is: Do not take any young widows into this list of those to be supported by the church; because, as time goes on, they will wish to marry; and, due to their youth and lack of experience, they will become idle, gad around from house to house, tattle and carry tales.

having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge.Some find a "vow of celibacy" in "pledge"; but nothing like that is in the word.

And withal—to be idle, &c.— And moreover, being idle, they get a habit of rambling from house to house; and are not only idle, but triflers, φλυαροι :—a word derived from the verb φλυειν, which signifies the noise made by water, when it is ready to boil over; and therefore well expresses the inward fermentation (if we may so speak) in the minds of these trifling people, which they vented by unprofitable discourses. read more
