It is not to be wondered at if one should be caught stealing, for he steals that when hungry, he may satisfy his soul:

but if he should be caught, he shall repay sevenfold, and shall deliver himself by giving all his goods.

As is the shame of a thief when he is caught, so shall the children of Israel be ashamed; they, and their kings, and their princes, and their priests, and their prophets.

This he said, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and he used to pilfer the things which were placed in it.

nor covetous, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor abusive people, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
