“Sanctification is thus the state predetermined by God for believers, into which in grace He calls them, and in which they begin their Christian course and so pursue it. Hence they are called ‘saints.” (Vine’s)
“Holiness refers to separation from all that would defile both the body and the mind. Complete or perfect holiness was embodied only in Christ, thus believers are to pursue Him, cf. 3:18; Leviticus 20:26; Matthew 5:48; Romans 8:29; Philippians 3:12-14; 1 John 3:2-3 (John MacArthur, The MacArthur Study Bible, p. 1774).
