Sanctification accompanies salvation is shown when a verse places holiness directly in the package God gives with salvation. In this verse, Christ Jesus is described as having become for us wisdom from God—our righteousness, holiness (sanctification), and redemption. That wording ties sanctification to salvation itself, not as a later goal or human achievement, but as part of what God provides at conversion. It communicates that being in Christ includes a transformation toward holiness as an ongoing part of the salvation experience.

Other verses address related ideas but don’t make that direct connection. For example, one verse emphasizes forgiveness and baptism as steps in receiving salvation, another defines universal sin, and another describes spiritual fruit that grows after salvation. Those themes are important, but they don’t state that sanctification is part of the salvation package in the same explicit way as this verse does.
