1 Corinthians 7:36

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

However, if someone thinks he is acting inappropriately toward his betrothed, and if she is beyond her youth and they ought to marry, let him do as he wishes; he is not sinning; they should get married.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
But if any man thinks that he is behaving inappropriately toward his virgin, if she is past the flower of her age, and if need so requires, let him do what he desires. He doesn’t sin. Let them marry.

Strong's King James
(36) But if anybody thinks they are behaving dishonourably towards his virgin, if she is past her prime, it mustn't be so, let him do what he wants, he doesn't deviate and let them marry.
The F.O.G*
[36] If anyone is worried that he might not be acting honorably toward the virgin he's engaged to, and if his passions are too strong and he feels he ought to marry, he should do as he wants. He isn't sinning. They should get married.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
and if any one doth think it to be unseemly to his virgin, if she may be beyond the bloom of age, and it ought so to be, what he willeth let him do; he doth not sin—let him marry.
Young's Literal Translation
