God’s people are perfectly holy

1 Corinthiens 1:2 (NEG79)

2 à l'Eglise de Dieu qui est à Corinthe, à ceux qui ont été sanctifiés en Jésus-Christ, saints par vocation, et à tous ceux qui invoquent en quelque lieu que ce soit le nom de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ, leur Seigneur et le nôtre:

The word sanctify is used, not only to signify that the thing is set apart for holy uses, but that it is to be regarded, treated, and declared as a holy thing…If the word sanctified may mean regarded as holy and treated as such, can you not see how in Christ Jesus the saints are regarded by God as being holy and treated as such?…It is a fact, that for the sake of what Jesus Christ did, God’s people, though in themselves but partially sanctified as being yet subject to sin, are for Christ’s sake treated and regarded as if they were perfectly holy.1
