Could you please clarify the above statement for me so that I understand you better.
I will be happy to try.
What that looks like is going to vary in each person's life. Protestants usually refer to at least part of it as "sanctification".
It may be that one is continually presented with temptations - to act in ways or say a thing that is not Christlike, or even being tempted only to think in ways that are not Christlike. Those temptations should be brushed aside. Not acted on, certainly, but not even mentally engaged with, because that in itself can lead to sin, even if one's intent is to "argue against" such temptations. We turn from them instead, and even better, occupy our minds with prayer, with contemplation of the holy, or something else spiritually beneficial.
Or it may be for some person, especially one who is recently converted, or more so maybe one who has become lax, or for some other reason - such a one might actually have habitual sins they are actively fighting against - habits, addictions, or whatever - those should be continually turned away from as well.
Those are the two more extremes of the spectrum. There are many people, many kinds of sins and temptations that fall between those two - those should be turned away from as well.
If the way I said it was confusing - I meant - people are tempted - they should ideally turn away from those temptations without giving in to them at all - without sinning.
But people have varying degrees of definition of sin. Taken to the fullest understanding - which if one considers sin to be anything that falls short of Christ Himself - then we all sin constantly as we all fall short of Him. And for that sensitivity, we ought to repent, confess, and get up and keep trying. Others (Again the opposite end of a spectrum) consider only grosser outward sins - lying, stealing, adultery, and so on. For that sensitivity, a Christian should not be doing those things, certainly. But again, if they do, they should certainly repent, confess, and seek not to do them again, getting spiritual help if necessary.
If that doesn't answer your question, let me know. There are so many things that go into it that I wasn't sure what exactly you might be asking about.
