We should be obedient unto God, rather than follow those who in arrogance and disruptiveness have set themselves up as leaders in abominable jealousy.... For Christ is with them that are humble of mind, not with them that exalt themselves over the flock. 1Clem 14:1; 16:1
LUKE 20
34 Jesus said to them, ‘Those who belong to this age marry and are given in marriage; 35but those who are considered worthy of a place in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. 36Indeed they cannot die anymore, because they are like angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection. 37And the fact that the dead are raised Moses himself showed, in the story about the bush, where he speaks of the Lord as the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 38Now he is God not of the dead, but of the living; for to him all of them are alive.’ 39Then some of the scribes answered, ‘Teacher, you have spoken well.’ 40For they no longer dared to ask him another question.  41 Then he said to them, ‘How can they say that the Messiah* is David’s son? 42For David himself says in the book of Psalms, “The Lord said to my Lord, ‘Sit at my right hand,  43   until I make your enemies your footstool.’ ”  44David thus calls him Lord; so how can he be his son?’  45 In the hearing of all the people he said to the* disciples, 46‘Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love to be greeted with respect in the market-places, and to have the best seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets. 47They devour widows’ houses and for the sake of appearance say long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.’
