This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
6. ἡ δὲ σπαταλῶσα κ.τ.λ., but she (i.e. the widow) that liveth riotously is dead while she liveth. σπαταλᾷν only occurs in N.T. here and at Jam 5:5; cp. Eze 16:49 (where it is used of one of the sins of Sodom and her daughters) and Sir 21:15.

The conception of spiritual death, of death in life, is frequent in St Paul; see Rom 7:10; Rom 7:24; Eph 4:18, and cp. Rev 3:1 where it is said of the Church of Sardis … ὅτι ζῇς καὶ νεκρὸς εἶ.
