1 Timothy 5:6

 

DailyBibleStudy.Org

 

 

6 But [de] she that liveth in pleasure [spatalao] is dead [thnesko] while she liveth. [zao] KJV-Interlinear

 

 

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

 

 

Borrowed from Ezek. 16:49, where the word careless is used, here wanton pleasure is a phrase that describes a person who leads an irresponsible life with no regard for the repercussions of their thoughts and actions.

 

In the previous verse, the widow leads a respectable life in pursuing her spiritual growth, not being an intentional burden on anyone, and in so doing, receives the mercies of God in meeting her daily needs.

 

This verse shows the woman who has been left alone in the world, and instead of turning to the Lord for help, turns away and to the world with reckless activity. This activity is not restricted to drinking and carousing and such things, but the emphasis is more on her disregard for her situation and all the more reason for the Lords help in her life.

 

And this principle can apply to anyone for that matter. Whenever a person is born into this world, they are at the mercy of evil.They can fight it on their own, but that won t last very long.They can join evil and play the worldly game.And that won t last them very long.

 

Or, they can turn to the only one who can help, and that is Christ, and that means certain victory in this life and the next.

 

Look around and you do not have to look very far to see the inequities and dangers in this world. This is the devils world. It is filled with disadvantages, and unfair situations for most everyone.

 

You can live in danger from crime, from storms, from genetic defects, from a very long list of problems. Look at yourself and add your problems to the list.The list grows and grows. This world is not the ideal place for life.

 

It is the devils design however.

 

But you do not have to look very far to see the answer to these disadvantages. Jesus Christ is the answer. He created us all, and reserved a place in heaven for everyone who believes in Him. Furthermore, He has a master plan to destroy this corrupted universe and replace it with a newer and much better one, which will last forever.

 

You can use your imagination as to the characteristics of the next universe, and probably will never begin to imagine even a small fraction of all (new and better) that will be in it.

 

And furthermore, those believers who advance to spiritual maturity, will be the recipients of phenomenal blessings, that those who ignore their spiritual life, will not receive.

 

And thus, the widow (or anyone), who disregards their spiritual life, which results in the death or better said, dysfunction and empty content, of their spiritual life, will lose out on those phenomenal blessings for all of eternity.

 

That is a huge loss, for such an empty reward of a frivolous life in this short life. Not a good trade.
