Unlike the previous two verses of "commandments," everything here is phrased as a command.There are two uncommon words that have an entertaining side.

The word translated as "perfect" is only used twice by Jesus but has a lot of meanings, which is always a sign of wordplay. It is an adjective with the same root as the verb that means "fulfill" and "accomplish," and the noun that "result," "achievement," and "product," but that the Gospels misleadingly translates as "end" to make Jesus an "apocalyptic" prophet. The dual meaning is "finished" in the sense of being completed and an accomplishment, but also in the negative sense of being finished with your life.

The other uncommon word is translated as "what thou hast" and "possessions," but it is from a root word that means "begin," and "to already be in existence," being the present participle of the verb used as an adjective introduced by a plural neuter article. So, with the article, the phrase is "the beginnings" or "the things already existing," which is a funny way of implying that whatever you have now is the start of what you will have in the future.
