Divinity who lines sanctimonious pockets (8)

I believe the answer is:

holiness

'divinity' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'who lines sanctimonious pockets' is the wordplay.
'pockets' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (pocket can mean to contain).
'HOLINESS' can be found hidden inside 'who lines sanctimonious'.

(Other definitions for holiness that I've seen before include "purity" , "Goodness!" , "State of spiritual excellence" , "State of sanctity" , "Piety" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
