It is used in the New Testament to describe the unlawful taking of someone else's property. The word emphasizes the act of stealing itself, rather than the identity of the thief or the value of the stolen item.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, theft was considered a serious offense, often punishable by severe penalties. The act of stealing was not only a violation of personal property rights but also a breach of social and moral order. In Jewish law, as outlined in the Torah, theft was condemned, and restitution was required. The cultural context of the New Testament reflects these values, viewing theft as a sin against both God and neighbor.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 2829</b> <i>klopḗ</i> – theft, done <i>under cover</i> (through stealth, fraud, etc.), i.e. thievery done secretively (not out in the open or with violence). <a href="/greek/2812.htm">See 2812</a> (<i>kleptēs</i>).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2813.htm">kleptó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>theft<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>thefts (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2829: κλοπή</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">κλοπή</span></span>, <span class="greek2">κλοπῆς</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">κλέπτω</span>), <span class="accented">theft</span>: plural (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, 77 (67); <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>'s Grammar, 176 (166)), <a href="/interlinear/matthew/15-19.htm">Matthew 15:19</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/7-21.htm">Mark 7:21</a> (22).
