 “Perfect”— katartizo- “to complete thoroughly, i.e. repair (literally or figuratively) or adjust” (Strongs)  “Lacking”— husterema- deficit; specifically, poverty: (Strongs)

 A valid basis. Acts 17:2ff, 11 Jesus is the Christ. Cf. Jno. 20:30-31; Resurrection. 1 Cor. 15:12-17  Many things taught with no valid basis…  Christ the author of denominationalism. Cf.
