Did you know some of the words in the translated Bible were incorrectly translated from the Greek?

One of the words that was mistranslated was the word "perfect". The word in the original Greek version of the Bible actually translates correctly as "complete".

What’s a specific verse that contains that word?

@4meAndyou @GJOFJ3 That's not surprising. Even the word "perfect" comes form the Latin "perfectus" which literally means "done through", thus "complete, finished".
