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

Younger - than 60 years (1 Timothy 5:9).

Refuse - to take on the roll of presbyteress widows. Wax wanton - `over-strong' (2 Chronicles 26:16). [ Katastreeniasoosin (G2691), akin to the Latin strenuus like beasts waxing restive with over-feeding (Deuteronomy 32:15).]

Against Christ - their proper bridegroom.

They will - Greek, wish: their desire is to marry again.
