These two things we are called to be/do have been hard to distinguish between them.
I want to share an article from a Hebrew POV on this difference. It has cleared much up IMHO!
My take home from the article:
"In other words, his actions should have been motivated by his love for his wife and not because “she was gonna ask.” That is the difference between holiness and righteousness. Holiness isn’t doing the right thing because it is righteous. Holiness is being so affected by love that you don’t even consider doing the wrong things. G-D commanded His people to be holy as He is holy in Leviticus 19:1-2 (TLV)
