Holy is such an overused and misunderstood word.

The closest is #4.
Holy is separate. Pure. Godly. Well, God.
God is holy, Holy is God.
Therefore, be holy as I am Holy.
Maybe we need to stop asking "when am I sinning?" and start asking "How can I be holy?".

I really like that question; How can I be Holy? It's like you're not trying to get away with something, instead you are striving to be the best that you can be with God's help.
I love David Crowder's Song "Wholly Yours". He sings about how holy and perfect and wonderful God is. He then resolves to do his best to reach for that Holiness.
