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

1. Refuse - What services must the church refuse to give to a widow because they are younger than 60? Are there other factors, besides age, that must be considered?

2. Wax wanton - What is "lasciviousness"? Why would younger widows become wanton when older widows would not?

3. Marry - What is wrong with a young widow getting married? Is remarriage forbidden to widows? (Romans 7:1-3; 1 Corinthians 7:39)
