I believe the loss of the original manuscripts and the textual variants proof this:

Quote:
1 Peter 1:23-25

23since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God; 24for

"All flesh is like grass
and all its glory like the flower of grass.
The grass withers,
and the flower falls,
25but the word of the Lord remains forever."

And this word is the good news that was preached to you.
That is - everything associated with this creation - paper, scrolls, original texts and documents, etc... will fall and fade away, but the word of the Lord remains forever...
