Matthew 5:48 (ESV Strong's)
You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
1 Peter 1:14-16 (ESV Strong's)
14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, 15 but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
Being perfect in the righteousness of God is only possible when we put on the righteousness of Christ. We then can be perfect as He is perfect and holy as He is holy.
