For no word from God will ever fail — the theological principle grounds the specific announcement. No word from God will ever fail (ouk adynatēsei para tō theō pan rhēma, no word from God is without power/impossible) echoes Genesis 18:14 (is anything too hard for the Lord?) and communicates that the announced impossibility is not God's problem. The principle is stated as the grounding for everything the angel has said: the virgin conception, the eternal throne, the Son of God — all rest on the reliability of the divine word.
