Haste » Not being hasty

for anger abides in the heart of fools.
Don’t be too quick to appoint anyone as an elder, and don’t share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.

Guard your step when you go to the house of God. Better to draw near in obedience than to offer the sacrifice as fools do, for they are ignorant and do wrong.
