Context — Honoring True Widows
4But if a widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to show godliness to their own family and repay their parents, for this is pleasing in the sight of God.
5The widow who is truly in need and left all alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day in her petitions and prayers.
6But she who lives for pleasure is dead even while she is still alive.
7Give these instructions to the believers, so that they will be above reproach. 8If anyone does not provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.Cross References

1 Timothy 5:6 Summary
This verse is saying that if we focus too much on the things that bring us pleasure in this world, we can become disconnected from God and what truly matters. This doesn't mean that we can't enjoy the good things in life, but rather that we should prioritize our relationship with God above all else, as it says in Matthew 6:33 to 'seek first the kingdom of God'. When we put God first, we can experience true life and purpose, rather than just living for temporary pleasures. By trusting in God's provision and living a life of faith, like the widow in 1 Timothy 5:5, we can experience a deeper sense of fulfillment and joy that goes beyond worldly pleasures.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to 'live for pleasure' in the context of 1 Timothy 5:6?
To live for pleasure means to prioritize worldly desires and comforts above a relationship with God, as seen in Ephesians 2:3, where it is written that we once followed the ways of the world and the ruler of the kingdom of the air.
How can someone be 'dead even while she is still alive'?
This phrase suggests that a person who prioritizes worldly pleasures over a relationship with God is spiritually dead, even if they are physically alive, as Jesus taught in Luke 9:60, saying 'Let the dead bury their own dead' to a would-be follower.
Is this verse only talking about widows, or does it apply to all believers?
While the verse is addressed to widows in the context of 1 Timothy 5, the principle applies to all believers, as seen in 1 Timothy 5:8, where it says that anyone who does not provide for their own household has denied the faith.
What is the opposite of 'living for pleasure' according to the Bible?
The opposite of living for pleasure is to live a life of service, love, and devotion to God, as seen in 1 Timothy 5:5, where the widow who is truly in need puts her hope in God and continues in petitions and prayers, demonstrating a life of faith and trust in God's provision, similar to what is described in Proverbs 31:30, where a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways I prioritize worldly pleasures in my own life, and how can I surrender these to God?
- In what ways can I 'put my hope in God' and trust in His provision, as the widow in 1 Timothy 5:5 does?
- How can I ensure that my priorities are aligned with God's will, rather than my own desires for pleasure and comfort?
- What does it mean to be 'spiritually dead', and how can I examine my own heart to see if I am living a life that is pleasing to God?
Gill's Exposition on 1 Timothy 5:6
But she that liveth in pleasure,.... Voluptuously, and deliciously; lives a wanton, loose, and licentious life, serving divers lusts and pleasures:, is dead while she liveth; is dead in trespasses
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Timothy 5:6
But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth. She that liveth in pleasure - the opposite of the self-denying widow, 1 Timothy 5:5; therefore one undeserving of church charity.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Timothy 5:6
H de sqatalwsa, she that is wanton, , she that spends her money in needless costs, as to meat, drink, or apparel, is spiritually dead, dead in sin, while she liveth a temporary voluptuous life, in vanity, and luxury, and impurity of flesh and spirit.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Timothy 5:6
6 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth. Ver. 6. Is dead while she liveth] Cum careat pura mente, cadaver agit. Pamphilius in Terence saith the like of a light housewife. Sane hercle homo voluptati obsequens fuit dum vixit. St Paul’ s Greek cannot well be rendered but by Terence’ s Latin, and Terence’ s Latin cannot well be put into other Greek. But she that liveth in pleasure] Gr. σπαταλωσα. The delicate dame, such as were those wanton daughters of Sion, those mincing minions mentioned Isaiah 3:16-26, as also those of Tyre and Sidon, those of Phoenicia, so called from the Syriac phinneck, delicate: the Greeks call them τρυφεροι, such as lie melting in sensual delights and sinful pleasures, in the froth whereof groweth that worm that never dieth, James 5:5. I have read of a gallant addicted to uncleanness, who at last meeting with a beautiful dame, and having enjoyed his fleshly desires of her, found her in the morning to be the dead body of one that he had formerly sinned with, which had been acted by the devil all night, and left dead again in the morning. Sure he had but ψυχρονπαραγκαλισμα, a cold armful of her at length (as Lycophron saith of an evil wife), and if God had given grace, it might have brought him to better courses; but where that is wanting, no warning will serve turn.
Jeroboam had as great a miracle wrought before him in the drying up of his hand, as St Paul at his conversion, yet was he not wrought upon, because the Spirit did not set it on. Besides, grace is seated in the powers of nature. Now carnal sins disable nature, and so set men in a greater distance from grace, as taking away the heart, Hosea 4:11.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Timothy 5:6
(6) But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.—This is a thoroughly Pauline thought, set forth in other language in the Roman Epistle, Romans 8:13 : “For if ye live after the flesh ye shall die.” The word in the Greek rendered “she that liveth in pleasure” is very remarkable, and in the New Testament is found only in one other place (James 5:5). The widow-woman who could so forget her sorrow and her duty is spoken of as a living corpse, and sharply contrasted with her far happier sister, who, dead to the pleasures of the flesh, living a life of prayer and of self-denial, in the true sense of the word, may be spoken of as living. A very different estimate of life was held by the greatest of Greek poets, who writes thus of men giving up pleasures: “I do not consider that such a one lives, but I regard him as a living corpse” (Antigone of Sophocles, 1166-7, Dindorf). Comp., too, Revelation 3:1.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Timothy 5:6
Verse 6. But she that liveth in pleasure] Ἡδεσπαταλωσα· She that liveth delicately-voluptuously indulging herself with dainties; it does not indicate grossly criminal pleasures; but simply means one who indulges herself in good eating and drinking, pampering her body at the expense of her mind. The word is used in reference to what we term petted and spoiled children; and a remarkable passage, is produced by Kypke, from an epistle of Theanus to Eubulus, found in Opusc. Myth. Galaei, page 741, where he says: "What can be done with that boy, who, if he have not food when and as he pleases, bursts out into weeping; and, if he eats, must have dainties and sweetmeats? If the weather be hot he complains of fatigue; if it be cold, he trembles; if he be reproved, he scolds; if every thing be not provided for him according to his wish, he is enraged. If he eats not, he breaks out into fits of anger. He basely indulges himself in pleasure; and in every respect acts voluptuously and effeminately. Knowing then, O friend, ὁτιτασπαταλωντατωνπαιδιων, ὁτανακμασῃπροςανδρας, ανδραποδαγινεται, ταςτοιαυταςἡδοναςαφαιρει· that boys living thus voluptuously, when they grow up are wont to become slaves; take away, therefore, such pleasures from them." I have introduced this long quotation, the better to fix the meaning of the apostle, and to show that the life of pleasure mentioned here does not mean prostitution or uncleanness of any kind, though such a life may naturally lead to dissolute manners. Is dead while she liveth.] No purpose of life is answered by the existence of such a person.
Seneca, in Epist. 60, says of pleasure-takers, and those who live a voluptuous life: Hos itaque animalium loco numeremus, non hominum: quosdam vero ne animalium quidem, sed mortuorum-mortem antecesserunt. "We rank such persons with brutes, not with men; and some of them not even with brutes, but with dead carcasses. They anticipate their own death." Such persons are, as the apostle says elsewhere, dead in trespasses, and dead in sins.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Timothy 5:6
6. liveth in pleasure] The word occurs only once besides in N.T., James 5:5; where it is coupled with ‘living delicately,’ and is translated by R.V. ‘have taken your pleasure,’ consistently with its rendering here ‘giveth herself to pleasure.’ But surely all the connexion and derivation of the word points to a worse meaning, the rioting of a prodigal; as e.g. its use by the LXX. (as Bp Ellicott points out) in Ezekiel 16:49, ‘this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters.’ It is reproduced in the cognate ‘wax wanton’ of 1 Timothy 5:11. Render perhaps she that liveth a prodigal’s life. Stress is laid on this being brought out, because St Paul is painting the two pictures, for contrast, in the strongest colours, one all saint, one all sinner.is dead while she liveth] Has no ‘hold on the life which is life indeed,’ as urged 1 Timothy 6:19.
Barnes' Notes on 1 Timothy 5:6
But she that liveth in pleasure - Margin, “delicately.” The Greek word (σπαταλάω spatalaō) occurs nowhere else in the New Testament, except in James 5:5, “Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth.”
Whedon's Commentary on 1 Timothy 5:6
6. The spurious widow, that liveth in pleasure—not necessarily unchaste, but gay and prodigal—is dead to all Christian life, while she liveth a free secular life.
