Exegesis
The correlative negative pair oute gamousin oute gamizontai {οὔτε γαμοῦσιν οὔτε γαμίζονται | ou-te ga-moû-sin ou-te ga-mí-zon-tai} denies both entering into marriage and being given in marriage, preserving active–passive nuance.
In context — Mark 12:25
For when they rise from the dead, they do not marry and they are not given in marriage, but they are like angels in the heavens.
