The act of stealing is consistently condemned throughout Scripture, and thieves are often used as examples of sinful behavior that is contrary to God's commandments.<br><br><b>Old Testament References</b><br><br>The prohibition against stealing is clearly articulated in the Ten Commandments, where God commands, "You shall not steal" (<a href="/exodus/20-15.htm">Exodus 20:15</a>). This commandment underscores the importance of respecting others' property and maintaining justice within the community. The Old Testament law provided specific guidelines for dealing with theft, emphasizing restitution and justice. For instance, <a href="/exodus/22.htm">Exodus 22:1</a> states, "If a man steals an ox or a sheep and slaughters it or sells it, he must pay back five oxen for the ox and four sheep for the sheep."<br><br>The wisdom literature also addresses the issue of theft. <a href="/proverbs/6-30.htm">Proverbs 6:30-31</a> acknowledges the desperation that may drive a person to steal but still insists on restitution: "Men do not despise the thief if he steals to satisfy his hunger. Yet if caught, he must pay sevenfold; he must give up all the wealth of his house."<br><br><b>New Testament References</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the teachings of Jesus and the apostles continue to denounce theft. Jesus Himself highlights the moral decay associated with theft, stating, "For from within the hearts of men come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery" (<a href="/mark/7-21.htm">Mark 7:21</a>). This passage emphasizes that theft is not merely a social issue but a matter of the heart, reflecting a deeper spiritual problem.<br><br>The Apostle Paul also addresses the issue of theft in his epistles. In <a href="/1_corinthians/6-9.htm">1 Corinthians 6:9-10</a>, he warns, "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God." Here, thieves are listed among those who live in ways that are incompatible with the values of God's kingdom.<br><br>Paul further instructs believers in <a href="/ephesians/4-28.htm">Ephesians 4:28</a>, "He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing good with his own hands, that he may have something to share with the one in need." This verse not only condemns theft but also encourages a transformation of character, urging individuals to become productive members of the community who contribute positively to others.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>The consistent biblical condemnation of theft highlights the importance of integrity, respect for others, and trust in God's provision. Theft is seen as a violation of the social order established by God and an affront to His justice. The call to repentance and transformation for those who have engaged in theft is a recurring theme, emphasizing God's desire for restoration and reconciliation.<br><br><b>Symbolic and Eschatological References</b><br><br>In a symbolic sense, thieves are sometimes used to illustrate spiritual truths. Jesus uses the imagery of a thief in the night to describe the unexpected nature of His return: "But understand this: If the homeowner had known in which watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into" (<a href="/matthew/24-43.htm">Matthew 24:43</a>). This metaphor serves as a warning to remain vigilant and prepared for the coming of the Lord.<br><br>In the eschatological context, the final judgment will address all acts of theft, as God will bring every deed into account. <a href="/revelation/21-8.htm">Revelation 21:8</a> warns that "the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars&#8212;they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death." This passage underscores the ultimate justice of God and the eternal consequences of unrepentant sin, including theft.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Thieves, The two<p>(<a href="/luke/23-32.htm">Luke 23:32</a>, 39-43), robbers, rather brigands, probably followers of Barabbas.
