"return;" Command (or similar) in Lua?

Hello fellow devs! I have a fairly simple question this fine, fine evening.

I know in JavaScript, you can use the

return;

command to restart a for loop, etc.

I was wondering how I could do that with Lua.

My Code (The issue):

-- This is wrapped in a bigger for loop.
if (Part:IsA("Part")) == false or Part.Name == "Solid" then
        print("Removed".. Part.Name)
        break -- I have also tried "return".
    end

Full code:

local Model = script.Parent

wait(5)

for Model, Part in pairs(Model:GetChildren()) do
    print(Part.Name)

    if (Part:IsA("Part")) == false or Part.Name == "Solid" then
        print("Removed".. Part.Name)
        break
    end

    if Part.Shape == Enum.PartType.Block then
        game.Workspace.Terrain:FillBlock(Part.CFrame, Part.Size, Enum.Material.Mud)
    elseif Part.Shape == Enum.PartType.Cylinder then

    elseif Part.Shape == Enum.PartType.Ball then
        game.Workspace.Terrain:FillBall(Part.Position, Part.Size.X/2, Enum.Material.Air)
    end
    Part:Destroy()
    wait()
end

I'm either looking for another scriptinghelpers/DevForum link or an example.

Thanks in advance, Tim

Please provide explanation with your answers. Simply posting code does not spread knowledge of integral scripting processes which helps people understand the logic and reasoning behind your answer.
local Model = script.Parent

wait(5)

function check(p)
if not p:IsA("BasePart")  or p.Name == "Solid" then
        print("Removed".. Part.Name)
        return true
    end
end

for Model, Part in pairs(Model:GetChildren()) do
    print(Part.Name)

local checkstuff = check(Part)
if checkstuff then
return
end

    if Part.Shape == Enum.PartType.Block then
        game.Workspace.Terrain:FillBlock(Part.CFrame, Part.Size, Enum.Material.Mud)
    elseif Part.Shape == Enum.PartType.Cylinder then

    elseif Part.Shape == Enum.PartType.Ball then
        game.Workspace.Terrain:FillBall(Part.Position, Part.Size.X/2, Enum.Material.Air)
    end
    Part:Destroy()
    wait()
end
