Do not sin on the strength of the holy name
Do not do wrong thinking that your chanting will wash it away.
The holy name is powerful, and that is exactly why it must not be used as a licence. To act wrongly and count on chanting to clear it afterwards is listed as an offense against the name. Let your chanting make you more careful, not less.
