ACC ~ Mark 12 v23

THE END OF JEALOUSY

TERTULLIAN: To Christians, after their departure from this world, no restoration of the carnal aspect of marriage is promised in the day of the resurrection, translated as they will be into the condition and sanctity of angels. [1] In the day of resurrection no dilemma arising from sexual jealousy will injure any of her so many husbands, even in the case of her whom they chose to represent as having been married to seven brothers successively. TO HIS WIFE 1.1. [2]

[1] Cf. Mt 22:30; Mk 12:25; Lk 20:36.

[2] Cetedoc 0012, 1.1.23; ANF 4:39**. There will be no marital jealousy in heaven, where resurrected bodies will be sanctified.
