Question
Can you please help translate the phrase "forever he will be", which we would like to use in a church poster.
Thank you.

Answer
Hello,

“In aeternum erit” is the Latin translation of “Forever he will be”.

All the best,
Maria
_______________________________________
Note that:

-Forever = IN AETERNUM

-he will be = ERIT (3rd.person singular, future tense of SUM, I am). The personal pronoun "he" is omitted in Latin as it is implied in the verb ERIT.
