11 Bible Verses about perfectionism

For we overthrow arrogant 'reckonings,' and every stronghold that towers high in defiance of the knowledge of God, and we carry off every thought as if into slavery--into subjection to Christ;

through the hypocrisy of men who teach falsely and have their own consciences seared as with a hot iron;

simply fixing our gaze upon Jesus, our Prince Leader in the faith, who will also award us the prize. He, for the sake of the joy which lay before Him, patiently endured the cross, looking with contempt upon its shame, and afterwards seated Himself-- where He still sits--at the right hand of the throne of God.

For, though we are still living in the world, it is no worldly warfare that we are waging.

For it is made holy by the word of God and by prayer.

The weapons with which we fight are not human weapons, but are mighty for God in overthrowing strong fortresses.

A plain token of God's righteous judgement, I say, since it is a righteous thing for Him to requite with affliction those who are now afflicting you;

If we claim to be already free from sin, we lead ourselves astray and the truth has no place in our hearts.
