It is an unwarranted conclusion. For, 1. The Greek word here rendered <em> accounted worthy <\/em> is often elegantly put for <em> equum censetur, it is thought proper, <\/em> or <em> it seems good; good, <\/em> that is, in the present case, to the Divine Mind. The meaning then would be: <em> Those who by the Divine will shall attain the resurrection. <\/em> Their resurrection would be not dependent upon personal worthiness, but upon God&rsquo;s plan; whether of a part or the whole. 2. As the question of the Sadducees, (briefly feigning to be orthodox,) which Christ here answers, regarded solely the children of Abraham, who were assumed to be of course heirs of the <em> blessed <\/em> resurrection, it is of the blessed resurrection, or the blessed side of the resurrection, only, that Jesus now speaks, to which the <em> worthy <\/em> alone do in fact attain. In the same manner Paul in <span class='bible'>1 Corinthians 15<\/span>, as writing for the Christian alone, describes only the <em> glorious resurrection. <\/em> In neither case is it implied that there is not also, and at the same time, a resurrection of <em> the unjust, <\/em> (<span class='bible'>Act 24:15<\/span>,) or <em> resurrection of damnation, <span class='bible'>Joh 5:29<\/span><\/em>. <\/p>\n<p><em> Resurrection from the dead<\/em> Literally, <em> resurrection from dead. <\/em> There is apparently a difference in meaning between the three phrases, resurrection <em> of <\/em> the dead, resurrection <em> from <\/em> the dead, and resurrection <em> from dead, <\/em> without the article. Says Winer, (Gram. of N.T., vol. ii, p. 135,) &ldquo;  [dead, without the article] signifies dead persons, <span class='bible'>Luk 7:22<\/span>; 1Co 15:15 ; <span class='bible'>1Co 15:29<\/span>; <span class='bible'>1Co 15:32<\/span>, etc.; but   , <em> the dead <\/em> as a definite multitude.&rdquo; Resurrection <em> of the <\/em> dead would signify the resurrection of the totality of the race. The <em> resurrection from the dead <\/em> would signify the resurrection of only a part <em> from <\/em> the whole. The <em> resurrection from dead <\/em> may be a resurrection of persons from being dead. It is a becoming <em> alive <\/em> from <em> dead<\/em>. The same persons from their dead selves rise into living; as the phoenix has a resurrection <em> from <\/em> her own ashes, her ashes composing her risen self. There are thirty-four passages in the New Testament where the preposition  , <em> from <\/em> or <em> out from, <\/em> is used before <em> dead <\/em> without the article; and four in which it is used with the article, namely, <span class='bible'>Eph 5:14<\/span>; <span class='bible'>Col 1:18<\/span>; <span class='bible'>Col 2:12<\/span>; <span class='bible'>Rev 1:5<\/span>. With the preposition  , there are four instances; in all which, with a single exception, (<span class='bible'>Luk 16:30<\/span>,) the article is used. The result is, that the great mass of passages are resurrection  <em> from dead <\/em> persons. In a <em> resurrection from dead, <\/em> there may or may not be additional dead who do not rise. In <span class='bible'>Rom 11:15<\/span>, <em> life from dead <\/em> is life from their own dead selves; for Israel is held as a one historical race, which as a unit dies and rises again. The <em> casting away <\/em> and <em> recovering <\/em> is of the same conceptual Israel existing through ages. So also in <span class='bible'>Rom 6:13<\/span>, Christians are to yield themselves, as    , <em> from dead living. <\/em> In the whole passage the contrast is between themselves dead and themselves alive; not between themselves alive and others dead. The phrase   does not therefore decide whether a general or a partial resurrection takes place; but whether it is a partial or a universal resurrection, it may be a resurrection from their own previous dead selves.<\/p>\n<h4 align='right'><i><b>Fuente: Whedon&#8217;s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n<p> 29 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p> 30 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p> 31 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p> 32 Last of all the woman died also.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p> 33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p> 34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p> 35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: <strong> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/p>\n<p> Ver. 35. <strong> Nor are given in marriage<\/strong> ] Hence some collect, that the difference of sexes shall continue after the resurrection: wherefore else should our Saviour say, that they shall then neither marry nor be given in marriage? <em> Sed hic<\/em>  .
