Νεωτέρας δὲ χήρας παραιτοῦ· ὅταν γὰρ καταστρηνιάσωσιν τοῦ Χριστοῦ, γαμεῖν θέλουσιν,
Neōteras de chēras paraitoy· otan gar katastrēniasōsin toy Christoy, gamein theloysin,
King James Version (KJV)

But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;

Modern English

As for younger widows, do not put them on such a list. For when their sensual desires overcome their dedication to Christ, they want to marry.
