6But she that giveth herself to pleasure is dead while she liveth.


In Context

3 Honor widows that are widows indeed.

4 But if any widow hath children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety towards their own family, and to requite their parents: for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

5 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, hath her hope set on God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.

6 But she that giveth herself to pleasure is dead while she liveth.

7 These things also command, that they may be without reproach.

8 But if any provideth not for his own, and specially his own household, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.
