1 Timothy 5:11

1 Timothy 5:11. When they have begun to wax wanton against Christ,— The word Καταστρηνιασωσι, is a strong expression, which cannot be exactly rendered into English. When these widows grew negligent of their proper duty, sensual affections might prevail upon them; and their credit among Christians being hurt by such an unbecoming conduct, it is very probable that they would even take up with heathen husbands, and so be led to apostatize from Christianity.
