In the world but not of it. I am of the belief that if we really understand God and know Him and live with Him in us, we are not subject to the things of this world. We can work to remove the poison whilst wading through it.
Like what happened with John G. Lake and the bubonic plague
"John G. Lake, a faith healer and Pentecostal missionary, arrived in South Africa in 1908 to establish the Apostolic Faith Mission. During his time there, a bubonic plague outbreak—part of the third global pandemic—devastated the region, leaving many corpses unburied as people feared contagion.
Lake volunteered to help, entering homes with a companion to retrieve and bury the dead, often in mass graves due to the high death toll. Despite close contact with infected bodies, he claimed neither he nor his helper fell ill.
When British doctors arrived with supplies, they were amazed Lake remained uninfected. He told them his faith in "the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus" protected him, even claiming plague germs died on contact with his skin under a microscope, attributing this to God’s power."
