Some people have missed the mark

Paul speaks of faith in Christ as if it were a target at which to aim. Paul means that some people are not fulfilling the purpose of their faith, which is to love as he just explained in 1:5. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)

have turned away from these things

Here "turned away" is an idiom that means they have stopped doing what God has commanded. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom)
