To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
15, « As many as are perfect, be thus minded. " Thou says : *« By perfection, no more can be under- stood ill this text, than sincere and upright, accompanied witli an earnest reaching after perfection, as Paul did. " p. 51. Answer. Whatever perfection with respect to a full appre- hension or knowledge was pressed after by Paul, as Phil. Iii. 810 12, 13, yet this his perfection of sincerity and uprightness was sinless. It was pure in nature, wherein he was capable of at- taining a perfect growt...h in spiritual understanding. And this is implied in his pressing after perfection while he was per- fect, as appears in his own words. But if in this sense, sincere and upright men do earnestly reach after a sinless perfection, and that Paul did so, then it is attainable ; otherwise both Paul and the rest did earnestly strive after an impossibility. And this renders both their pray- ing, striving, and preaching invalid as yours is, who require people earnestly to reach after perfection, and yet tell them it is not attainable.
