Perfection. How do we even begin raveling out conceptions of perfection from Greek and Roman philosophy, through Hebrew theology and Christian expectation? We seem to be called to be perfect as the heavenly Father is perfect. But how does that change when we understand the Hebrew "Tov" and the Greek "Tellios"? Do we live, striving to be Good? Are we already Good?

• Matthew 5:48 - Be Perfect
• James 2:14-22 - Faith Without Works
• Matthew 14:30-33 - Peter Walks and Sinks on Water
