1 | Is this the same perfection of Matt 5:48 | James 3:2 | Searcher56 | 12275 | ||
Is a man perfect if he does not stumble in what he says? Is this the same perfection of Matt 5:48? |

2 | Is this the same perfection of Matt 5:48 | James 3:2 | Makarios | 12532 | ||
From James 3:2 "Perfect here means “mature.” From Matthew 5:48 "This verse, which comes from Deut. 18:13, refers to completeness. In the context of 5:43–48, it seems to mean that Jesus’ followers are to be as perfect as God in the ways that they love. God does not lower the standard to accommodate our sinfulness. He gives us the power to keep His righteous standard." (Ryrie's Study Bible) I believe that "maturity" and "completeness" could be used as synonyms here. --Nolan |
