the same happen'd to the second, and the third, and so on to the seventh. last of all the woman died too: now if there be another life after this, whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all married her.

Afterwards some of the Pharisees, who deny there is any resurrection, accosted him with this question, master, said they, Moses left it in writing, if any man has a brother, who dies in marriage without leaving children, he is obliged to take the widow, to perpetuate his brother's line. now there were seven brothers, the first of which marry'd, and died without children.read more.
the second after marrying the widow, died likewise without children. then the third took her, and so she was married to all seven, who all died without leaving any children. at last the woman died too. at the resurrection therefore, to which of them will she be wife? for she had been married to all the seven. Jesus answered, in this life men and women marry. but they, who shall be accounted worthy to obtain the resurrection to an eternal life, shall have no concern in marriage, as being immortal: for by the resurrection they will inherit a nature truely angelical and divine.
let there be no licentious or profane person, such as Esau, "who sold his birth-right, for a single mess."
