Exegesis
The locative en tō ouranō {ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ | en tôi ouranṓ} ‘in heaven’ situates this state, and the plural verb eisin {εἰσιν | eîsin} ‘they are’ predicates their status. This rendering preserves the Greek correlative negation and simile for theological emphasis.
In context — Matthew 22:30
For in the resurrection , they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as angels of God in heaven.
