You also be holy in all your conduct
13 Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance,
15 but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,
16 since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” – 1 Peter 1:13-16
So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation. – Genesis 2:3

David Guzik suggests:
The main idea behind holiness is not moral purity but it is the idea of “apartness.” The idea is that God is separate, different from His creation, both in His essential nature and in the perfection of His attributes. But instead of building a wall around His apartness, God calls us to come to Him and share His apartness. He says to us, “Be holy, for I am holy.”
It is interesting to consider holiness as an act of setting apart rather that an act of behavior. The Lord God instructed that a day should be holy, a land should be holy and garments should be holy. Items and things can not act or behave but can be set apart for God. We are called to be holy, to be set apart for Him, for His use, for His purpose. The root word for holiness in the Hebrew is to cleanse, and by being holy we are washed by the water of His Word to be set apart for His use. So being holy in all your conduct is being set apart, being hidden in the Body of Christ and doing His will as His holy servants.
