9 The [e]silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts.

1 Now [a]we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our [b]assembling unto him,
2 [c]That ye be not suddenly moved from your mind, nor troubled neither by [d]spirit, nor by [e]word, nor by [f]letter, as it were from us, as though the day of Christ were at hand.

14 Whereunto he called you by our [d]Gospel, to obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 [e]Therefore, brethren, stand fast and keep the instructions, which ye have been taught, either by word, or by our Epistle.
16 Now the same Jesus Christ our Lord, and our God, even the Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,

27 (A)[a]Then came to him certain of the Sadducees (which deny that there is any resurrection) and they asked him,
28 Saying, Master, (B)Moses wrote unto us, If any man’s brother die having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
29 Now there were seven brethren, and the first took a wife, and he died without children.
30 And the second took the wife, and he died childless.
31 Then the third took her: and so likewise the seven died, and left no children.
32 And last of all, the woman died also.
33 Therefore at the resurrection, whose wife of them shall she be? for seven had her to wife.
34 Then Jesus answered, and said unto them, The [b]children of this world marry wives, and are married.
35 But they which shall be counted worthy to enjoy that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry wives, neither are married.
36 For they can die no more, forasmuch as they are equal unto the Angels, and are the sons of God, since they are the [c]children of the resurrection.
37 And that the dead shall rise again, even (C)Moses showed it besides the bush, when he said, The Lord is the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 For he is not the God of the dead, but of them which live: for all [d]live unto him.
