1 Timothy Study Notes—Chapter 5New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
-
-
the one who gives herself to sensual gratification: The Greek verb used here could refer to living a luxurious, self-indulgent life. It may also suggest having loose morals. Paul was likely aware of some Christian widows who viewed their unmarried state as an opportunity for luxurious living. (Compare 1Ti 2:9.) Clearly, the congregation should not give material support to any who would abuse such generosity by seeking to live in luxury or by failing to uphold Jehovah’s moral standards.—See study note on 1Ti 5:3.
dead though she is living: That is, dead in a figurative sense.—Compare Re 3:1; see study note on Eph 2:1.
