New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
7 Has anyone become engaged to a woman but not yet married her? He should go back to his house, or he might die in the battle and another marry her.’ 8 The officials shall continue to address the troops, saying, ‘Is anyone afraid or disheartened? He should go back to his house, or he might cause the heart of his comrades to fail like his own.’ 9 When the officials have finished addressing the troops, then the commanders shall take charge of them.
