"But it is easierfor heavenand earthto pass awaythanfor onestroke of a letterof the Lawto fail.
The grasswithers,the flowerfades,But the wordof our Godstandsforever.
"Liftup your eyesto the sky,Then lookto the earthbeneath;For the skywill vanishlike smoke,And the earthwill wearout like a garmentAnd its inhabitantswill diein likemanner;But My salvationwill be forever,And My righteousnesswill not wane.
"For trulyI sayto you, untilheavenand earthpassaway,not the smallestletterorstrokeshall passfrom the Lawuntilallis accomplished.
"Heavenand earthwill passaway,but My wordswill not pass away.
Do we thennullifythe Lawthroughfaith?May it neverbe! On the contrary,we establishthe Law.
BUT THE WORDOF THE LORDENDURESFOREVER."And thisis the wordwhich was preachedto you.
But the dayof the Lordwill comelikea thief,in whichthe heavenswill pass awaywith a roarand the elementswill be destroyedwith intense heat,and the earthand its workswill be burnedup.
ThenI sawa greatwhitethroneand Him who satupon it, from whosepresenceearthand heavenfled away,and noplacewas foundfor them.
ThenI sawa newheavenand a newearth;for the firstheavenand the firstearthpassed away,and there is nolonger[any] sea.
and He will wipe awayeverytearfrom their eyes;and there will nolongerbe [any] death;there will nolongerbe [any] mourning,orcrying,orpain;the first thingshave passed away."
