1 Timothy 5:5 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. And desolate - Και μεμονωμενη· Left entirely alone - having neither children nor relatives to take care of her.

Trusteth in God - Finding she has no other helper, she continues in prayer and supplication, that she may derive that from God which, in the course of his providence, he has deprived her of among men.
