Jesus said to them, "Those who belong to this age marry and are given in marriage;
35 But those who are considered worthy of taking part in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage,
35
but those who are considered worthy of a place in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.

38 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.”
