Flower of Age

Concise Bible Dictionary:

Full manhood and womanhood (1 Sam. 2:33³³And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from mine altar, shall be to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart: and all the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their age. (1 Samuel 2:33)). 1 Corinthians 7:36³⁶But 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. (1 Corinthians 7:36) should read "if he pass the flower of his age."
