Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. (Matthew 5:48 KJV)
Nobody is perfect. But God wants us to be perfect. So nobody is perfect become the wonderful excuse. Nobody asked how they can become perfect. Nobody wanted to be perfect. They just want this perfect excuse - "Nobody is perfect" - so that they can continue to be imperfect, continue in their sins. Unlike the Philippian jailer, who asked Paul the Apostle, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved? (Acts 16:30 KJV)"
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: (Matthew 7:7 KJV)
Nobody asked, so the answer was never given. The Philippian jailer asked, and he got the answer. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. (Acts 16:31 KJV)"
Nobody is perfect. This is not a license to sin, but a call to repentance.
