holy living
Righteous daily conduct
Holy living is conduct guided by religious or spiritual principles—a life oriented toward moral purity, devotion, and separation from worldly corruption.
The phrase appears most often in Christian contexts, where it implies obedience to divine commands and cultivation of virtue: The pastor preached on the importance of holy living.
It can sound earnest or old-fashioned, sometimes carrying overtones of self-righteousness when used critically.
