I like these comments:
Quote:
This climactic triad ends the first six triads with a summarizing explanation: “You will be complete as your Father in heaven is complete” (or perfect or all-inclusive). It does not mean to live up to an ideal of perfect virtue as if we could say God lives up to an ideal of perfect virtue. It points to God's creative care for the just and unjust, giving sunshine and rain to all. It is no legalistic demand, no idealistic self-perfection. "It means to launch out with the love of God for the enemy, which goes out to all."[28] It points to being whole, complete, or all-inclusive in love toward others, including enemies, as God is inclusive in love toward the just and unjust alike.
