"Thou shalt not steal.” Those four words from Exodus 20:15, the
8th of the 10 Commandments...Stealing not only violates civil laws, but it is also a violation of God’s law (Exodus 20:15; Romans 13:9, Mark 10:19).
Even one of the disciples of Jesus was a thief. In the heart warming story mentioned in all four gospels (Matthew 26, Mark 14, Luke 7, and John 12) of Mary anointing the feet of Jesus with costly ointment, Judas Iscariot asked why the ointment was not sold and the money given to the poor.
John 12:6 records that “This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.”
Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. Ephesians 4:28."
