Take vs 36 in context with the chapter and discussion. vs 1 of this chapter says "it's good for a man not to touch a woman." vs 2 "but because sexual immorality is so rampant, every man should have his own wife..." (International Standard Version). The rest of the chapter leading up to vs 36 clearly talks about pro's and con's of marriage and repeatedly makes reference to sexual issues. the bible, especially the new testement repetedly makes reference to the "sins of the flesh" and sexual immorality being high up on the list in terms of temptation and acting in sin. "uncomely" in this verse is obviously referring to the man beginning to "act out" on his sexual temptation toward the "virgin" as described in the AMPLIFIED translation "not acting properly toard..." The verse is specifically setting the standard that sexual "playfullness" and behavior toward someone you are not married to is improper (therefore sinful). To continue with this type of behavior is to continue to sin. The only way to be "justified" or "right" in this behavior is that the other person be your spouse. therefore, fefrain from such behavior, or, marry her and be justified before God. |
