Ultimately, he calls for a separation from past struggles and a commitment to follow God's path wholeheartedly.

And are you seeking the priesthood also?

The first died after he had married, and having no offspring, left his wife to his brother. 26 Likewise the second also, and the third, even to the seventh. 27 Last of all the woman died also. 28 Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her.” 29 Jesus answered and said to them, “You are [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=matthew%2022%3a23-29&version=nkjv#fen-nkjv-23902a]mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.
