Perfection and the Bible

Perfection and the Bible consists of references in many verses of the Bible, and most extensively by far in the Epistles to the Hebrews. Note that perfection is difficult to define directly, rather than in the negative (e.g., flawless).

53 references to perfect or perfection in the Bible include 20 in the Old Testament and 33 in the New Testament, which means this is one of the most evenly used concepts in all of the Bible:
