What is holy?

What is holy?

• A. Romans 7:12
• B. Wisdom of Solomon 6:10
• C. Leviticus 19:2
• D. 1 Peter 1:15

Answer: (B)

Holiness is living in alignment with God’s truth and character, and in wisdom literature that alignment is shown as a life shaped by wisdom itself. Wisdom of Solomon 6:10 presents holiness as something the holy pursue and embrace through wise living. In this view, holiness isn’t just about ritual rules or God's nature in abstract; it’s about choosing and clinging to wisdom, letting it guide thoughts, choices, and actions. That direct link—holiness arising from embracing and living by wisdom—is why this verse best answers the question “What is holy?” compared to passages that describe holiness as God’s nature or as a command to be holy.
