2 Corinthians 13:11: Be perfect
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 13 (1872)
Religion
Press to the mark, (the Spirit cries,
And cannot cry to saints in vain,)
Ambitious of your calling's prize,
The height of holiness attain;
Let down from heaven the ladder see,
And mount, till all the steps are pass'd:
Perfection is the last degree, -
Perfection is attain'd the last.
