PERFECTING
“To bring to an end, accomplish, perfect, execute, complete” (Thayer’s)
“…continuous present tense, indicating a process…” (Vine’s)
“Believers are to be ‘perfecting holiness in the fear of God,’ 2 Corinthians 7:1, i.e., bringing ‘holiness’ to its predestined end, whereby (c) they may be found ‘blameless in holiness’ in the second coming of Christ, 1 Thessalonians 3:13.” (Vine’s)
