Spiritual Perfection

…until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as we mature to the full measure of the stature of Christ.

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

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you encounter trials of many kinds,

Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
