Luke 16:17
Luke 16:14-18 The Message (MSG)
When the Pharisees, a money-obsessed bunch, heard him say these things, they rolled their eyes, dismissing him as hopelessly out of touch. So Jesus spoke to them: “You are masters at making yourselves look good in front of others, but God knows what’s behind the appearance. What society sees and calls monumental, God sees through and calls monstrous. God’s Law and the Prophets climaxed in John; Now it’s all kingdom of God—the glad news and compelling invitation to every man and woman. The sky will disintegrate and the earth dissolve before a single letter of God’s Law wears out. Using the legalities of divorce as a cover for lust is adultery; Using the legalities of marriage as a cover for lust is adultery.
Luke 16:17 King James Version (KJV)
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.

And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail.

Yet it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for a single stroke of a letter of the Law to fail and become void.

But that doesn’t mean that the law has lost its force. It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the smallest point of God’s law to be overturned.
