Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need.”
— Ephesians 4: 28
How interesting that Paul wanted thieves to give up their thieving ways so that–of all things–they could share with the needy.
That as opposed to taking the honest money and buying, say, a new assault rifle.
But that’s the Bible for you.
Almost every page of it calls for the just, fair, generous treatment of the poor and vulnerable.
