his virgin: Some interpret this of a man's continuing in a state of celibacy, and render παρθενος: strong:G3933, not a virgin, but virginity; but such a construction of the original appears without example. It appears most obvious to explain it of a parent, or guardian, who had the charge of a virgin; and Kypke has shown that την παρθενον αυτου: strong:G847 is an elegant phrase for his virgin daughter.

the flower: 1 Samuel 2:33

and need: 1 Corinthians 7:9, 1 Corinthians 7:37

he sinneth: 1 Corinthians 7:28
