OET (OET-LV) But the woman living_luxuriously, while_living has_died.

OET (OET-RV) But a widow who just lives for pleasure is dead inside even though she’s still living.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 5:1–6:2: Paul told Timothy how to treat different groups of believers

Paragraph 5:3–8

A community of believers should care for widows who have no family to care for them.

5:6a

But she who lives for pleasure

But she who lives for pleasure: Paul contrasted a “widow who is truly in need,” whom the believers should help, with the one who lives for pleasure. A widow who lives for pleasure thinks only about what she wants and not about what God wants. She will do whatever causes her to feel good even if she sins by doing it.

5:6b

is dead even while she is still alive.

is dead: A widow who lives for pleasure is obviously alive physically. Therefore when Paul said that she is dead, he meant that she was spiritually dead. That means that she has no real relationship with God.

Speakers of some languages may not use the word dead in this metaphorical way. Therefore they may find it very difficult to understand. If this is true in your area, you may need to say something like:

she lives cut off from God

her life counts for nothing good

In some languages people may be able to translate this as a simile and to say:

her soul is like a corpse

her heart is like it is dead, even though her body is alive

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

ἡ & σπαταλῶσα

the_‹woman› & living_luxuriously

The phrase the one represents this kind of widow in general, not one particular widow. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [each one who lives self-indulgently]

σπαταλῶσα

living_luxuriously

Alternate translation: [living for pleasure] or [living in a luxurious way]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ζῶσα τέθνηκεν

˱while˲_living ˓has˒_died

Here Paul describes widows who act like this as if they had died even though they are living. He means that they are like dead people because they are spiritually dead. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in simile form or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [although still living, is like someone who has died] or [living, has died spiritually]
