1 Corinthians 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.

Cross-reference

In 1 Cor 7:9, Paul says it's better to marry than to burn with passion—the same principle used in 7:36 for those with strong passions.

1 Cor 7:28 confirms marriage is not a sin but adds worldly troubles—expanding the context for Paul's advice in 7:36.

1 Cor 7:37 presents the alternative: if under control, keeping her as virgin is good—contrasting with 7:36's allowance for marriage when passions are strong.

1 Cor 7:25 introduces Paul's judgment on the betrothed, noting no command from the Lord—framing 7:36 as apostolic advice, not divine law.

In 1 Timothy 4:3, forbidding marriage is condemned as a doctrine of demons — affirming that marriage is permitted, as here.
