1Cor. 7:36 But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his
virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do
what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry. KJV
St Paul seems to say that if an engaged couple lose their virginity
it is okay for them as long as they go ahead and get marred. per KJV
per Paul: extramarital okay as long as they go ahead and get married?
ASV alters a GREEK original to avoid this embarrasment to us preachers:
1Cor. 7:36 But if any man thinketh that he behaveth himself unseemingly
toward his virgin daughter, if she be past the flower of her age, and if
need so requireth, let him do what he will; he sinneth not; let them marry.
Nestle Aland 27 original says: EI DE TIS ASCHMONEIN EPI THN
PARQENON AUTOU NOMIZEI, EAN H hUPERAKMOS KAI OUTWS OFEILEI
GINESQAI, hO QELEI POIEITW, OUC AMARTANEI, GAMEITWSAN
in the modern vernacular: any male gets a girl pregnant or
just deflowers her it's okay but he must pay a bride price
