I suppose that any variant from the above is not important , because dont change the meaning , the message, the doctrine or even the exact Words of our Lord.
From the other hand if a verse is missing is important. Also violates doctrine it is serious.
example:
"
Peter went to the doctor yesterday" (original)
"Yesterday, Peter went to the doctor" (not serious error)
"Peter went to the doctor" (it is ok)
"Peter never went to a doctor" (important variant..lie)
