Bible verse
Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Matthew 5:48 · BSB
The verses around it, from Matthew 5.
44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same?
47 And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even Gentiles do the same?
48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
KJV
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Ye therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
ERV
Ye therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
