So then, the one who marries his own virgin does well, but the one who does not, does better.

For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

So Jesus said to them, “The people of this age marry and are given in marriage.

People were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage – right up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

But those who are regarded as worthy to share in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.

For in those days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark.
