2 Timóteo 3

2 Timóteo 3:17

Jesus wished and desired this service, so that all the children of men might arrive at perfection. And His coming into the world took place that He might deliver to the children of men the life and rule of spiritual beings, even as also the holy Apostle taught that it was meet that the man of God should be in all perfection, saying, "The man of God shall be perfect to do every good and perfect thing." — 13 Ascetic Discourses, Discourse 8 -- First Discourse on Poverty
