^5 [a](A)Stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time so that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and ^[b]come together again so that ^(B)Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. ⁶ But this I say by way of concession, ^(C)not of command. ^7 [c]Yet I wish that all ^[d]men were ^(D)even as I myself am.

²⁹ But Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, ^(A)since you do not ^[a]understand the Scriptures nor the power of God. ³⁰ For in the resurrection they neither ^(B)marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

³⁴ Jesus said to them, “The sons of ^(A)this age marry and the women are given in marriage, ³⁵ but those who are considered worthy to attain to ^(B)that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; ³⁶ for they cannot even die anymore, for they are like angels, and are ^(C)sons of God, being ^[a]sons of the resurrection.

The one who is able to accept this, let him accept it.”

¹⁴ But Jesus said, “^[a](A)Leave the children alone, and do not ^[b]forbid them to come to Me; for ^(B)the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
