This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
she that liveth in pleasure - the opposite of such a widow as is described in 1Ti 5:5, and therefore one utterly undeserving of Church charity. The Greek expresses wanton prodigality and excess [Tittmann]. The root expresses weaving at a fast rate, and so lavish excess (see on Jam 5:5).
dead while she liveth - dead in the Spirit while alive in the flesh (Mat 8:22; Eph 5:14).
