I first looked up "sanctify" in the dictionary. The meaning is, "to make pure or free from sin or guilt; to make holy, set apart as sacred, consecrate; to make productive of or conducive to spiritual blessing." The last one seems to make sense in relation to the last post. To make conducive to spiritual blessing? But I found that in most cases where the word is used in the Bible, sanctity is given directly by God. So I don't suppose anyone could be freed from sin from anybody but God, but I can see that an unbeliever could be made conducive to spiritual blessing through a believer. Though it still seems like a strange choice of words to me...
