(33)In the resurrection therefore whose wife of them shall she be? for
the seven had her to wife. (34)And Jesus in reply said to them, The
children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: (35)but they
who are counted worthy to attain to that world, and the resurrection of
the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: (36)neither can
they die any more: for they are like the angels; and are the children
