Disobedience; often shown as the result of unbelief. Those who live in sin do not really believe, so do not do what God commands. Some examples here include those who often have sex outside of marriage (and see nothing wrong, so continue to not believe God and do what He says), those who want what others have all the time (and so do more wrong to acquire them), and other unclean (unrighteous) thoughts and actions. This is why those who have been saved from sin must go and sin no more - to stop angering God as those who do not believe and do not obey. We must not join in with them; we are free from those things!
Ephesians 5:5-7
5 For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. 7 Therefore do not be partakers with them.
