# Heaven and earth will pass away "Heaven and earth will cease to exist." The word "heaven" here refers to the sky and the universe beyond it. # my words will never pass away "my words will never cease to exist" or "my words will never fail." Jesus uses "words" here to refer to everything he says. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]]) # will never pass away This could be stated in positive form. Alternate translation: "will remain forever"
