29. One time there were seven brothers. The first brother married, but died. He had no children.
30. Then the second brother married the widow, and he died.
31. And the third brother married the widow, and he died. The same thing happened with all the other brothers. They all died and had no children.

35. But those who will be worthy to be raised from death and live again will not marry.
