The study Bible millions have come to trust is now fully updated, guiding your steps as you confidently venture into Scripture. Be perfect. Or “complete” and “whole” (cf. 19:20-21). Jesus sets up the high ideal of perfect or complete love—including both attitude and action (see vv. 43–47). This is God’s high standard for his people, empowered by the presence of Jesus in their midst ( 1:23; 18:20; 28:20). Dr. Jeannine Brown: Drawing on my own study of Matthew, I was able to clarify the meaning of the Greek term teleios as used in Matthew 5:48. Jesus calls his disciples to “be perfect” like their “heavenly Father is perfect.” Because teleios doesn’t map exactly onto the English word “ perfect,” our note on this verse now provides the following clarification:

Second, our work in translation helped our study Bible team to provide notes that reflect a deeper level of linguistic nuance. For example, we’ve avoided reference to the “literal” meaning of words, since most words (in Greek and Hebrew, as well as in English) have distinct senses in various contexts and not a single basic meaning.Since this is a revision to the 2011 NIV Study Bible, can you think of a specific study note or feature that you personally helped refine on account of better cultural or thematic understanding of a passage?

The desire to reflect the broad evangelical community can be seen in the notes on Revelation 20:2, where John describes Satan as being bound for a thousand years. The meaning of this millennial period is heavily debated by evangelicals, and to favor any one viewpoint would only serve to alienate part of the evangelical Christian community. As a result, the editors chose to describe the amillennial, premillennial and postmillenial views of the passage rather than focus on one particular interpretation. Do you understand what you are reading?’, Philip asked the Ethiopian (of Acts 8).He responded, ‘How can I unless someone explains it to me?’ The Bible is ancient, deep and sometimes confusing, so we all need a bit of help now and then.
