The charity of God is truly perfect. [2] Notwithstanding his lesser failings, he retains the habit of charity and grace, by which he remains united to God. --- And by this we know that we are in him; i.e. we are morally, though not absolutely, certain that we are in the state of grace. (Witham)

[BIBLIOGRAPHY]

Perfecta est, Greek: teteleiotai. That must only be understood of charity so perfected as to be true charity, but not a perfect degree of charity.
