but they that are accounted worthy to attain to that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

unto which promise our twelve tribes, earnestly serving God night and day, hope to attain. And concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, O king!

Know ye not that they that run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? Even so run; that ye may attain.

till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

if by any means I may attain unto the resurrection from the dead.
