God has commanded several times that we must not steal. The commandment You shall not steal is in Exodus 20:15. It is repeated in Leviticus 19:11 and Deuteronomy 5:19 and is also commanded by Jesus in Matthew 19:18, Mark 10:19 and Luke 18:20. In Jeremiah 7:9 and Zechariah 5:3 we are told of Gods displeasure with those who do steal. In Romans 13:9 Paul points out that if we love our neighbor we will not steal. In Ephesians 4:28 he says that those who have been guilty of stealing should repent and change their ways. Gods word say in Isaiah 61:8 "For I, the LORD, love justice. I hate robbery and wrongdoing.

God says that Thieves shall never inherit the kingdom of God. Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: .nor thieves. Will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11

Conclusion: God gives warning in Ephesians 4:28 as Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
