☀️ 1 - Now about the questions about which you wrote to me: “I (Paul) think it’s good for a man to remain single, rather than to marry.” 2 But in the world there is the temptation to immorality. [Porneia - fornication (sexual relations between people who are not married to each other - The Amer. Heritage Dictionary). From pernaō - to sell off, properly, a selling off (surrendering) of sexual purity.] {Rightness, health.} So each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. 3 The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 For the husband doesn’t have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Likewise the wife doesn’t have authority over her own body, but the husband does. 5 Don’t deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer, but then come together again, so Satan may not tempt you to a lack of self control, and you fall prey to unfaithfulness.

     6 Now this is only advice, but I will say, 7 I wish all were as I am. But all have their own blessing from God, some of one kind and others of another kind.

23 - Later that same day some Sadducees came to him, who say there’s no rising from the dead, and they asked him a question, 24 “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies having no children, his brother should marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.’ 25 Now there were seven brothers and the first married and died, having no children and left his wife to his brother. 26 So too the second and third, down to the seventh. 27 And after them all, the woman died. 28 In the resurrection, therefore, of the seven, whose wife will she be? For they all had her.”

     29 Jesus answered them, “You are wrong. You know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they are not given in marriage nor wed, but are like the angels in heaven. 31 And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you never read what was said to you by God, 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He’s not God of the dead, but of the living.” 33 And when the crowd heard it, they were astonished at his teaching. {“Brothers and sisters, we don’t want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so you don’t grieve..” 1Thes.4:13}
