1 Tim. 5:12      1 Tim. 5:14

First letter to Timothy 5:13

At the same time, they [these younger widows] learn to be lazy as they go about their homes. Not only do they become lazy, but they also become gossipy and nosy, talking about things that are not proper.
[Pastoral home visits may have been part of the role of a church widow. This freedom to touch, visit, and serve others could be abused. In 1 Tim. 4:7, Paul warned against fables, legends, and heretical teachings from women. This warning is also found in the next letter, see 2 Tim 3:7. Perhaps this group was particularly susceptible to the influence of early Gnostic teachings.
The following example from the Roman satirical poet Juvenal gives an insight into the kind of gossip that was common among women at that time: "She knows everything that happens in the world ... She knows who is in love with whom, and which Casanova the women are fighting over; she can tell who made which widow with children, in which month, how each woman behaves with her lover and what she says to them ..."]
