1 Timothy 5:6

“But she that liveth in pleasure, etc.] Voluptuously, and deliciously; lives a wanton, loose, and licentious life, serving divers lusts and pleasures:, is dead while she liveth; is dead in trespasses and sins, while she lives in them; is dead morally or spiritually, while she lives a natural or corporeal life. There is a likeness between a moral and a corporeal death. In a corporeal death, the soul is separated from the body; and in a moral death, souls are separated from God, and are alienated from the life of God; and are without Christ, who is the author and giver of spiritual life; and have not the Spirit, which is the Spirit of life: death defaces and deforms the man, and a moral death…”

“she that liveth in pleasure--the opposite of such a widow as is described in Ti1 5:5, and therefore one utterly undeserving of Church charity.

It does not indicate grossly criminal pleasures; but the kind of pleasure connected with luxurious living, and with pampering the appetites. It is probable that in the time of the apostle, there were professedly Christian widows who lived in this manner - as there are such professing Christians of all kinds in every age of the world. Is dead while she liveth -…”

“She that liveth in pleasure - Delicately, voluptuously, in elegant, regular sensuality, though not in the use of any such pleasures as are unlawful in themselves. 1 Timothy 5:7”

“5:6 Some widows in Ephesus were living only for pleasure, more interested in receiving than in giving (see also 6:17-19; Jas 5:5). They did not need support.”
