   for all {they} had her

Exegesis

The second clause is introduced by gar {γὰρ | gar} ‘for’, which provides the rationale for the difficulty posed: pantes {πάντες | pántes} ‘all’ stands as the subject, eschon {ἔσχον | éschon} ‘had’ is an aorist verb depicting completed past action, and autēn {αὐτήν | autḗn} ‘her’ is the direct object. The aorist tense compresses the serial marriages into a completed sequence, while the placement of pantes toward the front of the clause highlights the universality of the marital claim. In English, the question–reason structure is preserved by keeping the initial temporal-eschatological phrase (“in the resurrection”) and by rendering gar with “for” or “because,” maintaining the logical flow from the hypothetical problem to its stated premise.
