Origen Against Celsus Book V For we desire to listen to Him who said: "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away."[89] Clementine Epistle of Peter to James alive, to transform my words by certain various interpretations, in order to the dissolution of the law; as though I also myself were of such a mind, but did not freely proclaim it, which God forbid! For such a thing were to act in opposition to the law of God which was spoken by Moses, and was borne witness to by our Lord in respect of its eternal continuance; for thus he spoke: "The heavens and the earth shall pass away, but one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law."[3]
