I think you are misusing that verse. That passage is talking about physical perfection, not moral perfection. Paul said in the verse before that he had not yet 'attained' a resurrected body. We cannot be physically perfect until glorification. That makes sense, also. Thanks, Jesse. But sin does not consist in the substance of the body. Sin is a choice of the will. Therefore you don't need to wait until glorification to be morally perfect. We can have a pure heart now on earth. That makes sense, too.
