Jn 5:39 AMP
You search and investigate and pore over the Scriptures diligently, because you suppose and trust that you have eternal life through them. And these [very Scriptures] testify about Me!

You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
“Be Perfect”

“You shall not sacrifice to the Lord your God an ox or a sheep in which is a blemish, any defect whatever, for that is an abomination to the Lord your God.
To Be PERFECTLY Righteous
Think about the fact that Jesus’ words, actions, and even the thoughts and intentions of His heart were all pure. He was truly “without sin”, in every way!

Jesus knew His mission on earth from a very young age, and He also knew He was born not only to die, but He was also born to live a perfect and sinless life as the Savior of the world.
To Be PERFECTLY Righteous
Jesus was perfect in the sense that He was completely without sin, and therefore “unstained” as a human being!!! Is 53:9, Mt 27:4, Lk 23:41,47, Jn 8:46, 2Co 5:21, Heb 2:17,4:15, 7:26-28, 1Pe 2:22, 1Jn 2:1-2,3:5
