Vance Havner says it is insulation, not isolation

"We are not to be isolated but insulated,” said Vance Havner, “moving in the midst of evil but untouched by it.” Separation is contact with contamination. Jesus was “holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners” (Heb. 7:26), yet He was “a friend of tax collectors and sinners” (Luke 7:34). (The Integrity Crisis by Warren W. Wiersbe, Thomas Nelson Publishers, 1991, p. 81).
