Matthew 22:30-40

30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as angels of God in heaven.

31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read what was spoken to you by God, saying,

32 *I* am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not God of [the] dead, but of [the] living.

33 And when the crowds heard [it] they were astonished at his doctrine.

34 But the Pharisees, having heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, were gathered together.

35 And one of them, a lawyer, demanded, tempting him, and saying,

36 Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?

37 And he said to him, Thou shalt love [the] Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy understanding.

38 This is [the] great and first commandment.

39 And [the] second is like it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40 On these two commandments the whole law and the prophets hang.
