TESTIMONIES AGAINST THE JEWS. 167
Also accordingto Luke : " The childrenof thisworld beget,
and are begotten. But they who have been considered
worthy of thatworld,and the resurrectionfrom the dead,do
not marry, nor are married: forneithershallthey begin to
die: forthey are equal to the angelsof God, sincethey are
the childrenof the resurrection.But, that the dead rise
again,Moses intimateswhen he says in the bush,The Lord,
the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac,and the God of
Jacob. He is not the God of the dead,but of the living:
for allliveunto Him." 1 Also in the firstEpistleof Paul
to the Corinthians: " It is good for a man not to touch a
woman. But, on account of fornication,letevery man have
bis own wife,and every woman have her own husband. Let
the husband render what isdue to the wife, and similarly
the wife to the husband. The wife hath not power over her
own body, but the husband. And in likemanner, the hus
band hath not power over hisown body, but the wife. De
fraud not one the other,exceptby agreement fora time,that
ye may have leisureforprayer;and againreturnto the same
point,lestSatan tempt you on accountof your incontinency.
This I say by way of allowance,not by way of command.
But I wish thatallmen should be even as I am. But every
one has his proper giftfrom God ; one in one way, but
another in anotherway."2 Also in the same place: "An
unmarried man thinksof those thingswhich are the Lord's,
in what way he may pleaseGod ; but he who has contracted
marriage thinks of those things that are of thisworld, in
what way he may pleasehis wife. Thus also,both the
woman and the unmarried virgin thinkethof those things
which are the Lord's,thatshe may be holy both in body and
in spirit; but she that hath married thinksof thosethings
which are of thisworld, in what way she may pleaseher
husband."3 Also in Exodus, when the Lord had commanded
Moses thathe should sanctifythe peoplefor the thirdday,
he sanctifiedthem, and added : " Be ye ready,forthreedays
ye shallnot approach to women."4 Also in the firstbook
1 Lukexx.34-38. 2 1 Cor.vii.1-7.
* 1 Cor.vii.32-34. 4 Ex.xix.15.
