For the record, the bible does not say "against the truth". It says against the church.
Also "hell" refers to the grave, not to the dark forces of satan as depicted in catholic fable.
His point was that hell or the grave has no hold over the church. It has nothing to do with a preserved doctrine passed on from generation to generation
