No one lives in a vacuum. Societies are guided by laws, and clubs, professional bodies and companies are guided by codes of ethics, codes of conduct and internal policies. The law has a way of dealing with those who break it. Clubs and professional bodies suspend or expel those who break the rules, and companies fire those who frequently violate policies.

 

Notwithstanding the above context, Paul, in his letter to the church in Rome, instructed that they not conform to the world they lived in, but to be transformed by the renewing of their minds. The Roman society at this time was characterized by idolatry, pride and self-indulgence. Paul warned the church to not merge into the prevailing fleshly desires of the day, but to separate themselves by constantly examining themselves and submitting to the works of the Holy Spirit.
