I have never heard this before." - Greg
Trevan Hatch, professor at BYU focused on the Ancient Middle-East, lays out a framework for Matthew 5:48, "Be ye therefore perfect." I had never heard this approach before but Trevan backs this up with evidence from the scriptures.
We can look at "perfect" through a modern, Western mind as we often have, or as "complete" which is more popular today and fits within a temple framework of the Sermon On The Mount. But Trevan's explanations given though the context of other verses of scripture using the Greek word, "Teleios" showing support for a completely new understanding of the verse.
