νεωτέρας

˓the˒_younger_‹women›

Here Paul is referring to the younger widows whom he has been speaking about in [5:11–13](../05/11.md). If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [those younger widows]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

μηδεμίαν ἀφορμὴν διδόναι τῷ ἀντικειμένῳ λοιδορίας χάριν

not_one (Some words not found in SR-GNT: βούλομαι Οὖν νεωτέρας γαμεῖν τεκνογονεῖν οἰκοδεσποτεῖν μηδεμίαν ἀφορμήν διδόναι τῷ ἀντικειμένῳ λοιδορίας χάριν)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of opportunity, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [do nothing that would allow the one opposing to revile]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

λοιδορίας χάριν

˱of˲_insult for_reason_of

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

Here, the phrase the one opposing could refer to: (1) Satan. In this case, Satan probably would use other people to revile believers. Alternate translation: [to the devil] (2) any person who opposes or attacks believers. Alternate translation: [to people who oppose us] or [to enemies of the believers]
