1 Timothy 5:11 Douay-Rheims

But the younger widows avoid. For when they have grown wanton in Christ, they will marry:

Cyprian

c. A.D. 200–258 Patristic

That all widows that are approved are to be held in honour. In the first Epistle of Paul to Timothy: "Honour widows which are truly widows. But the widow that is wanton, is dead while she liveth." And again: "But the younger widows pass by: for when they shall be wanton in Christ, they wish to marry; having judgment, because they have cast off their first faith."
