Luke 16:17

But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for even the smallest stroke [Gk. keraia, which distinguishes the Hebrew letters] in the teaching (Gk. nomos) to fall away (lose its meaning).
[The Greek word keraia corresponds to the Hebrew word kotz, see Matt. 5:18. An equivalent in the Latin alphabet is, for example, the lower horizontal line that distinguishes the letter E from F.]
