Ethics of Our Fathers: Avot 3:9
Rabbi Chanina the son of Dosa would say: One whose fear of sin takes precedence to his wisdom, his wisdom endures. But one whose wisdom takes precedence to his fear of sin, his wisdom does not endure.
Mishnah 3:9 ”One whose fear of sin takes precedence over his wisdom, his wisdom endures.” Why is fear of sin even more essential than spiritual wisdom? Why is wisdom not enough? The mind left to its own devices is on a slippery slope.
