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
Ambrose of Milan
AD 397
And you, O widow, find those who will pray for you. If as a true widow and desolate you hope in God, continue constant in supplications. Persist in prayers. Treat your body as dying daily, that by dying you may live again. Avoid pleasures, that you, too, being sick, may be healed.
