6But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives.


In Context

3 Honor widows who are widows indeed.

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

5 Now she who is a widow indeed, and desolate, has her hope set on God, and continues in petitions and prayers night and day.

6 But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives.

7 Also command these things, that they may be without reproach.

8 But if anyone doesn't provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.
