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
John Chrysostom
AD 407
To whom is this said? To those who have no children, because they are more highly approved and have a greater opportunity of pleasing God, because all their chains are loosened to them. There is no one to hold them fast, no one to compel them to drag their chains after them. You are separated from your husband but are united to God. You have not a fellow servant for your associate, but you have your Lord.
