Not one iota
One jot. It is literally not one iota, not the most insignificant vowel, or one tittle, one corner or point of a consonant. It is a proverbial expression, which means that no one commandment contained in the moral law, nor the least part of one, however insignificant it might seem, should ever be annulled.

One jot――It is literally, not one Iota, not the most inconsiderable vowel, or one tittle, μία κεραία, one corner, or point of a consonant. It is a proverbial expression, which signifies that no one commandment contained in the moral law, nor the least part of one, however inconsiderable it might seem, should ever be disannulled.
