Matthew 5:18-19

Context
5:18 I 1  tell you the truth, 2  until heaven and earth pass away not the smallest letter or stroke of a letter 3  will pass from the law until everything takes place. 5:19 So anyone who breaks one of the least of these commands and teaches others 4  to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever obeys them and teaches others to do so will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

1 tn Grk “For I tell.” Here an explanatory γάρ (gar) has not been translated.

2 tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

3 tn Grk “Not one iota or one serif.”

sn The smallest letter refers to the smallest Hebrew letter (yod) and the stroke of a letter to a serif (a hook or projection on a Hebrew letter).

4 tn Grk “teaches men” ( in a generic sense, people).
