1 Timothy 5:6 But she that lives in pleasure is dead while she lives. It is a strong way of putting the truth, that a woman who seeks in worldly advantage her chief enjoyment, will come to disappointment and death. My friends, you all want to be happy. You have had a great many recipes by which it is proposed to give you satisfaction — solid satisfaction. 1. And, in the first place, I advise you not to build your happiness upon mere social position. 2. I go further, and advise you not to depend for enjoyment upon mere personal attractions. 3. Again, I advise you not to depend for happiness upon the flatteries of men. 4. Again, I charge you not to depend for happiness upon the discipleship of fashion. (T. De Witt Talmage.) Parallel Verses KJV: But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.WEB: But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives. |
