This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: who being past feeling have given themselves over to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

This, the member of the body of Christ will never do. The Head is holy, and so the members will also be by that Holy Spirit who sanctifies us.
