Matthew 5:18
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Yes, this doubles down on the perfect tense as used in Mt. 4:4 for the verb "write." I believe that another way to say that in English is, exhaustively:

"It stands written, never to change from thenceforth throughout eternity."

The statement that stands forever is (as transkated):

"Man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."

The kernel here is to discern whether what I just wrote is or is not inspired, whereas if written in paleo-Hebrew I think it truly would be an apograph, but of course not an autograph.
