The word “perfect” is used in Genesis 6:6 to describe Noah. What does this mean about Noah?
That he is complete, whole, and full of integrity
Russell M. Nelson taught:
“Scriptures have described Noah, Seth, and Job as perfect men.
“This does not mean that these people never made mistakes or never had need of correction. The process of perfection includes challenges to overcome and steps to repentance that may be very painful.
“Mortal perfection can be achieved as we try to perform every duty, keep every law, and strive to be as perfect in our sphere as our Heavenly Father is in his. If we do the best we can, the Lord will bless us according to our deeds and the desires of our hearts.”

24 Believe and repent of your sins and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, even as our fathers, and ye shall receive the Holy Ghost, that ye may have all things made manifest; and if ye do not this, the _ _ _ _ _ _ will come in upon you; nevertheless they hearkened not.

Moses 8: giants, power
Giants are mentioned in the accounts of both Enoch and Noah. Both accounts indicate that the giants were enemies to God and His prophets. While the word giant generally refers to someone large in stature, the Hebrew word translated as “giants” in Genesis 6:4, nephilim, can also mean “fallen ones.” It is not clear if these people were large in stature, and the term may simply have been a description of their fallen spiritual state.
