But she that lives in pleasure is dead while she lives.
All Commentaries on 1 Timothy 5:6 Go To 1 Timothy 5
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
For she that liveth in pleasure, (i.e. that seeks to live in ease and plenty) is dead while she is living, by the spiritual death of her soul in sin. See St. Chrysostom with no less eloquence than piety, expounding this riddle, as he terms it, to wit, what it is to be at the same time alive and dead. (Witham)
