"Honor widows that are widows indeed. But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God. Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth" (1 Tim. 5:3-6).
Here is a spiritual zombie, "dead while she liveth." This not only applies to a widow who lives in pleasure but any Christian or person who lives the same kind of lifestyle. "Even when we were dead in sins..." (Eph. 2:5). Spiritual zombies don't go to heaven.
