Stealing violates the trust and community integrity that God desires for His people. In the ancient Near Eastern context, theft was a serious offense that disrupted social harmony and economic stability. The command not to steal is reiterated in the Ten Commandments (<a href="/exodus/20-15.htm">Exodus 20:15</a>) and is foundational for maintaining justice and righteousness. In the New Testament, Paul echoes this command in <a href="/ephesians/4-28.htm">Ephesians 4:28</a>, urging believers to work honestly and share with those in need, reflecting a transformed life in Christ.<p><b>You must not lie or deceive one another.</b><br>Lying and deception are condemned because they undermine relationships and community trust. In the biblical context, truthfulness is a reflection of God's character, who is described as a God of truth (<a href="/deuteronomy/32-4.htm">Deuteronomy 32:4</a>). The prohibition against lying is also found in the Ten Commandments (<a href="/exodus/20-16.htm">Exodus 20:16</a>), emphasizing its importance in maintaining justice and social order. Deception is seen as a tool of the enemy, as illustrated in the story of the serpent in <a href="/genesis/3.htm">Genesis 3</a>. In the New Testament, Jesus identifies Himself as "the way, the truth, and the life" (<a href="/john/14-6.htm">John 14:6</a>), and believers are called to speak the truth in love (<a href="/ephesians/4-15.htm">Ephesians 4:15</a>).
