1. Perfection in the light of the Bible.

The words “perfect” and “perfection” are translated from the Hebrew word “tam,” or “ta-mim,” which means “complete,” “right,” “peaceful,” “healthy,” “morally pure,” “flawless.” Generally, the Greek word teleios also means “completed,” “fully grown,” “mature,” “fully developed,” and “fulfilled.”

In the Old Testament this word is used to refer to people in a relative sense. Noah, Abraham, and Job are described as perfect or blameless men (see Gen. 6:9; 17:1; 22:18; Job 1:1, 18), although each of them had flaws (see Gen. 9:20, 21; Job 40:2–5).

In the New Testament, perfect individuals are often defined as mature individuals who have lived in accordance with the light revealed to them and developed their spiritual, mental, and physical abilities as much as possible (cf. 1 Cor. 14:20; Phil. 3:15; Heb. 5 :14). Christ said that believers must be perfect in their limited sphere, just as God is perfect in His infinite and absolute sphere (see Matt. 5:48). A perfect man in the sight of God is a man whose heart and life are completely devoted to the worship and service of Him. This is a person who is constantly growing in the knowledge of God and who, through the grace of God, lives in harmony with the light he has received, rejoicing in life's victories (see Col. 4:12; James 3:2).
