UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

νεωτέρας & χήρας παραιτοῦ

younger & widows /be/_refusing

Here Paul implies that Timothy should refuse to enroll the younger widows on the list of widows whom the church would support (see 5:9). If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “refuse to enroll younger widows” or “refuse to include younger widows on the list of widows whom the church will support”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καταστρηνιάσωσιν τοῦ Χριστοῦ

˱they˲_/may/_become_sensual ˱against˲_the Messiah

Here, the phrase indulge themselves against Christ could mean that these widows: (1) desire to live self-indulgently in contrast to obeying Christ. Alternate translation: “they desire to live self-indulgently instead of obeying Christ” or “they want to indulge themselves” (2) desiring to have sex in contrast to serving Christ as widows. Alternate translation: “they have sexual desires that overcome their loyalty to Christ” or “their sexual desires turn them away from Christ”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

γαμεῖν θέλουσιν

/to_be/_marrying ˱they˲_/are/_willing

Since in 5:14 Paul recommends that these widows marry again, here he must have a specific situation in mind where wanting to marry is wrong. He could be implying that these widows want to marry: (1) anyone who has money and can support their self-indulgent lifestyles, even if that person is an unbeliever. Alternate translation: “they want to marry anyone who can support their self-indulgent desires” or “they want to marry even unbelievers so they can live as they desire” (2) after they have promised to serve in the church as widows without marrying again. Alternate translation: “they want to marry even though they have promised to remain widows” or “they want to marry despite their pledge to serve as widows”
