But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world,.... The world to come, eternal life and happiness; not by their own works and merits, but through the blood, sacrifice, and righteousness of the Messiah;
and the resurrection from the dead; that is, the first resurrection, the resurrection unto life, which only the dead in Christ will enjoy; otherwise all will be raised: but some to the resurrection of damnation:
these neither marry, nor are given in marriage; there will be no need of any such practice, for the reasons that follow.

But they who obtain that world - Which they enter into, before the resurrection of the dead.
