Are we suppose to be perfect?
"Be ye therefore perfect,"-Matthew 5:48 (a)KJV
Is not equal to
"And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments."-Matthew 19:17 KJV
Yet this perfect speaks more through
"For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law."-James 2:10-11 KJV
In not willfully sinning.
"For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,"-Hebrews 10:26 KJV
"And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes."-Luke 12:47 KJV
