She that liveth in pleasure - the opposite of the self-denying widow, 1 Timothy 5:5; therefore one undeserving of church charity. х Hee (G3588) ... spataloosa (G4684) expresses wanton prodigality.] The root expresses [spathaoo] weaving at a fast rate: so lavish excess (note, James 5:5).
Dead while she liveth - dead in the Spirit while alive in the flesh (Matthew 8:22; Ephesians 4:18; Ephesians 5:14; Revelation 3:1).
