“made perfect” = teleioō (tel-i-o'-o) to complete or accomplish. To be - consecrate, finish, fulfil, (make) perfect.
In the original Greek, “that” – is a purpose clause;
“they may be made perfect into one” – this is a periphrastic.
A periphrastic is made up of two verbs.
The subjunctive mood goes with the purpose clause and therefore it just simply means that this is a part of God’s purpose: that we might be completed.
