       At the core of what Paul is stating here I believe is the fact that we cannot be perfect, no matter how hard we try. We can be legalistic—we can apply all the rules. But what will that do? That will just cause sin to increase more and more. The reality is, you cannot be perfect, I cannot be perfect. The church member cannot be perfect, the preacher cannot be perfect. The politician will make mistakes, a police officer will make mistakes, the judge will make mistakes. None of us can be perfect, no matter who we are, no matter what our occupations are, no matter how hard we try. You cannot be flawless in your relationship with your husband or wife. The same is true with your children. Friends fail friends. A boyfriend doesn’t always treat his girlfriend perfectly. I think you get the point. And even if we could pull off perfection in every area of life, people would still get upset with us because they themselves are flawed.
