Deep questions.

739 // artiov // artios // ar'-tee-os //

from 737 ; TDNT - 1:475,80; adj

AV - perfect 1; 1

1) fitted
2) complete, perfect
2a) having reference apparently to "special aptitude for given uses"

We can be complete in Christ, fitted for the master's use. I guess if I were to choose a patterned to live by for guidance sake... I'd choose the Ten Commandments (the Moral Law).
