“I find a good many people bothered by ... our Lord’s words, ‘Be ye perfect.’ Some people seem to think this means ‘Unless you are perfect, I will not help you’; and as we cannot be perfect, then ... our position is hopeless. But I do not think he did mean that. I think he meant ‘The only help I will give is help to become perfect. You may want something less: but I will give you nothing less.’" C.S. Lewis
