Greek perfection (teleios) is less about moral spotlessness than about reaching the end (telos) something was made for — fully grown, complete, finished. A teleios person is a mature, whole person.

When Jesus says “you therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect,” he calls his disciples into a love as complete and undivided as his Father’s — not into anxious self-improvement. James and Paul use the same word for spiritual maturity.
