Another dagger in the heart of the false idea that Christians are Imperfect. Here Paul is speaking to people who are -Perfect-; same Greek word..'teleios'.  If Christians are -not- Perfect who was Paul speaking to... phantoms?? Those in glory who are totally and sinlessly perfect? Nonsense. Paul was speaking to the Corinthian Christians and he says that they were ~Perfect~.

Reader... are you Perfect? No? Well then... this verse does not apply to you. Paul   ~~~Says~~~  he is speaking the wisdom of God to those who are ~Perfect~.  If you're -Not- Perfect then just skip over this passage... or maybe just cut it out of your Bible altogether.
