Wayne, that very well may be, and I can easily admit wrong on that marriage part, but then I still have this being pointed out to me from The Lord as not belonging there.
Since I provide the arbitrary aspect in this (which really is ok with me, I'm starting to see the advantages of that position), my direction has to come from above on it. No matter what any language says, If HE is not happy with it, then it is wrong. The LORD continues to be my witness, I'm not gonna say HE is wrong either.
Looks like an addition to me. The first part describing Joseph and Mary states the conditions there were in (which is betrothed/married), this next particular section about Joseph is describing his charactor and his desires/troubles:
"Now Joseph was an upright man, but unwilling that he should denounce Mary,..."
Without that "her husband" part in there, the sentence structure flows better. It's tricky here, real tricky in this part for some reason, but I will follow whatever HE wishes to show me.
There is no reason for the distinction that he was her betrothed/husband to be made here again, in this section, it was stated in the following section already.
I will stand by whatever HE reveals to me.
