And lo! a person coming to him, said, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, in order to attain eternal life?

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

if haply I may attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

always learning, yet never able to attain unto the knowledge of truth.

God having provided for us something better, that without us they should not attain to perfection.
