If you know that the elect tend to live lives of virtue for various reasons, then the play is to live a life of virtue. If instead you know that the elect tend to live lives of virtue because they naturally want to, you may as well sin. I'm not familiar enough with Calvinism to say which of these is the case. (Well, neither is the case, of course. To say which they believe.)
