I will therefore that the younger marry, bear children, rule the house, give no occasion to the adversary in respectb of reproach.

JND Translation Notes

b
Or "by reason of." The sense is, the favour borne to anything; sometimes it is an object, sometimes a pleasing motive. The adversary found in the reproach a motive to exercise his hostility. As to "adversary," the habit of Paul is to speak thus of Satan directly when acting through men, because he knew the activity of the adversary, and the part he takes in such matters. To such an adversary reproach is a favoured, accepted motive.

WK Translation Notes

It seems singular that the English versions since Tyndale should, after "younger," have supplied "women"; for widows only are meant; but the Greek form precludes the necessity of adding females, and the context is decisive that the apostle speaks of none but those who had lost their husbands.
