To be hagios is to be set apart from common use for God. It speaks of God’s otherness and moral purity — “Holy, holy, holy” — and of whatever and whoever is dedicated to him.

Strikingly, the New Testament calls ordinary believers hagioi, “holy ones” or saints — not because they are sinless but because God has set them apart in Christ. Holiness is therefore both a gift (we are made holy) and a calling (“be holy, for I am holy”).
