[American Constitutionalist]

So ? those who interpret it like that ? are they just like God ? perfect as God on their own ? in their self righteousness keeping the law ?
Rather ? For we are the righteousness of God IN Christ Jesus.
2 Corinthians 5:21

For he has made him, who knew no sin, to be sin for us; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

And just where will we be made as perfect ? In Christ.
