1 And on one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and proclaiming the good news, the chief priests and scribes, with the elders, came upon him,
2 and spoke to him saying, Tell us by what authority you do these things? and who gave you this authority?
3 And he answered and said to them, I also will ask you a question; and tell me,
4 Was the baptism of John from heaven, or from men?
5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven, he will say, Why did you not believe him?
6 But if we say, From men, all the people will stone us; for they are persuaded that John is a prophet.
7 And they answered, They did not know whence.
8 And Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
9 (26:2) And he spoke to the people this parable; A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went abroad for a long time.
10 And at the time he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard; and the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.
11 And again he sent another servant; and they beat him, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
12 And again he sent a third; and they wounded him, and cast him out.
13 And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; doubtless, when they see him they will respect him.
14 But seeing him, the husbandmen reasoned with themselves, saying, This is the heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
15 And they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What, therefore, will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16 He will come and destroy those husbandmen, and let the vineyard to others. And hearing this, they said, By no means.
17 And he looked at them and said, What, then, is this which is written? The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of a corner;
18 every one that falls on that stone shall be bruised; but on whomsoever it shall fall it shall crush him to atoms.
19 And the scribes and chief priests sought to lay hands on him at that time; and they feared the people; for they knew that he spoke this parable to them.
20 (26:3) And they sent spies to watch him, who pretended to be righteous men, that they might take advantage of his speech, to deliver him to the power and authority of the procurator.
21 And they asked him saying, Teacher, we know that you speak and teach correctly, and respect no person, but teach the way of God in truth.
22 Is it lawful for us to pay tribute to Caesar, or not?
23 And perceiving their craftiness, he said to them,
24 Show me a denarius [14 cents]. Whose figure and inscription has it? And they answered and said, Caesar's.
25 And he said to them, Render therefore Caesar's dues to Caesar, and God's to God.
26 And they were not able to take advantage of his word before the people; and they wondered at his answer, and were silent.
27 (26:4) And some of the Sadducees came forward, who deny that there is a resurrection, and asked him,
28 saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, that if one's brother dies, having a wife, and dies childless, his brother shall take his wife and raise up children for his brother.
29 There were, therefore, seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and died childless;
30 and the second and third took her;
31 and in like manner also the seven; [and they] left no children, and died.
32 And last, the woman died also.
33 In the resurrection, therefore, which of them has her for a wife? for the seven had her for a wife.
34 And Jesus said to them, The children of this life marry and are married;
35 but those who are judged worthy to attain that life, and the resurrection of the dead, neither marry nor are married;
36 neither can they die any more; for they are equal to the angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord, The God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob.
38 But God is not [a God] of the dead, but of the living; for all live to him.
39 And some of the scribes answered and said, Teacher, you have spoken well.
40 And they dared not question him any more.
41 (26:5) And he said to them, How do they say that the Christ is the son of David?
42 And David himself says in the book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand,
43 till I make your enemies your footstool.
44 David, therefore, calls him Lord; and how is he his son?
45 (26:6) And in the hearing of all the people he said to them,
46 Beware of the scribes, who delight to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the markets, and the first seats in the synagogues, and the first places at feasts;
47 who devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers; they shall receive a greater judgment.

3 You are now pure, by means of the word which I have spoken to you;
4 continue in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it continues in the vine, so you cannot, unless you continue in me.

9 And hearing the king, they departed; and behold, the star which they saw in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
10 And seeing the star they rejoiced with great joy;
11 and coming into the house they saw the young child with Mary his mother; and they fell down and worshipped him; and opening their treasures they presented him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

14 And he arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and fled into Egypt,
15 and was there till the death of Herod; that the word might be fulfilled, which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying; Out of Egypt have I called my son.

28 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? for they all had her.
29 And Jesus answered and said to them, You err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are married, but are as angels in heaven.
31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying,

21 and the second took her, and died leaving no child; and the third in like manner.
22 And the seven left no child. Last of all, the woman died also.
23 In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife shall she be? for the seven had her as a wife.
24 Jesus said to them, Do you not err on this account, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God?
25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are married, but are like angels in heaven.
26 But concerning the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, how God spoke to him at the bush, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
27 He is not a God of the dead, but of the living; you greatly err.

21 and the second took her, and died leaving no child; and the third in like manner.

3 Let the husband render to the wife her due, and in like manner also the wife the husband.
4 The wife has not the right to her body, but the husband; and in like manner the husband has not the right to his body, but the wife.
5 Withhold not yourselves from one another, except by agreement for a time that you may be at leisure for prayer, and come together again, that Satan may not tempt you by your incontinence.
6 But this I say by suggestion, not by command.
7 For I wish that all men were even as I am; but each one has his gift from God, and one is of one kind and another of another.
8 (3:2) And I say to the unmarried and to the widows, that it is good for them to continue as I am;
9 but if they have not self-control, let them marry; it is better to marry than to be incontinent.
10 But the married I charge, not I, but the Lord, Let not a wife separate from her husband,
11 and also if she is separated let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to the husband, and let not a husband leave his wife.
12 (3:3) But to the rest I speak, not the Lord, If any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is pleased to live with him, let him not leave her;
13 and if any wife has an unbelieving husband and he is pleased to live with her, let her not leave the husband.
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the believing wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the brother; else were your children impure, but now are they holy.
15 But if the unbelieving companion departs, let him depart; the brother or the sister is not bound in such cases; but God has called us to peace.
16 For how do you know, wife, that you will not save your husband? or how do you know, husband, that you will not save your wife?
Ephesians 5:31

Romans 8:17-23
17 And if children, [we are] also heirs, heirs indeed of God and co-heirs with Christ, if we suffer with him that we may also be glorified with him.
18 (6:3) For I think that the sufferings of the present time are of no account in comparison with the glory to be revealed in us.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creation waits for the revelation of the sons of God.
20 For the creation was subjected to a perishable condition, not willingly, but by him that subjected it, in hope
21 that the same creation will be delivered from the servitude of destruction and [brought] into the glorious liberty of the sons of God.
22 For we know that all the creation groans and is in pain till now;
23 and not only it, but we ourselves also who have the first fruit of the Spirit, even ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our bodies.
1 Corinthians 15:26
26 The last enemy, death, shall be destroyed,
1 Corinthians 15:42
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in destruction, it is raised in indestructibleness;
1 Corinthians 15:49
49 and as we have borne the image of the earthly, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
1 Corinthians 15:52-54
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead be raised, indestructible, and we shall be changed.

15 For we tell you this by the word of the Lord, that we who live and remain till the coming of the Lord, shall not anticipate those that have fallen asleep,
16 for the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first,
