Didache 6:2 If you can bear the Lord's full yoke, you will be perfect. But if you cannot, then do what you can.
The Didache was taught to early Christian believers and even though it was not canonized as Scripture, that does not necessarily mean anything that it says is wrong. The Bible does not teach that we need to have perfect obedience or about anything special that is earned as a wage if someone somehow manages to have perfect obedience, though it is a common misunderstanding to think that does. For example, in Romans 3:21-22, it does not say that the Law and the Prophets testify that the righteousness of God comes through perfect obedience, but rather the only way to become righteous that is testified about in the Law and the Prophets is through faith in Christ. I do think that it is interesting that modern Christians are taught about the Bible requiring perfect obedience while early Christians were taught that if you can't, then do what you can.
