Imperfection

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God,

You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on another. For on whatever grounds you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.

But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God remains in us, and His love is perfected in us.

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who was tempted in every way that we are, yet was without sin.

He saved us, not by the righteous deeds we had done, but according to His mercy, through the washing of new birth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.

So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness.
