1 Timothy 5:6 American Standard Version (ASV)

But she that giveth herself to pleasure is dead while she liveth.

1 Timothy 5:6 New King James Version (NKJV)

But she who lives in pleasure is dead while she lives.

1 Timothy 5:3-8 The Message (MSG)

Take care of widows who are destitute. If a widow has family members to take care of her, let them learn that religion begins at their own doorstep and that they should pay back with gratitude some of what they have received. This pleases God immensely. You can tell a legitimate widow by the way she has put all her hope in God, praying to him constantly for the needs of others as well as her own. But a widow who exploits people’s emotions and pocketbooks—well, there’s nothing to her. Tell these things to the people so that they will do the right thing in their extended family. Anyone who neglects to care for family members in need repudiates the faith. That’s worse than refusing to believe in the first place.

1 Timothy 5:6 King James Version (KJV)

But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.

1 Timothy 5:6 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)

Whereas she who lives for pleasure and self-indulgence is spiritually dead even while she still lives.
