Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusts in God, and continues in supplications and prayers night and day.
All Commentaries on 1 Timothy 5:5 Go To 1 Timothy 5
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
She that is a widow indeed, and desolate, (destitute of help, as the Greek word implieth) may be maintained; and then let her be constant in prayers and devotions night and day. (Witham)
Every Christian soul is a widow of Jesus Christ, who has been forcibly torn from her: and in her communications with heaven she ought to offer up an afflicted and humbled heart
the heart of a widow. It is thus she will avoid the dangers of the world, and secure true life in unchangeable felicity. (Haydock)
