To Steal, Thief

Theft consists of depriving a person of a Good that belongs to them. Theft is not limited to money.

In "The Gospel as It Was Revealed to Me"

• Discourse on the Ten Commandments, the prohibition against stealing: "I could group together the commandment not to steal and that of not desiring what belongs to another. Because in fact, immoderate desire leads to theft. There is only one step from one to the other. [...] Theft is not only about money. It is also theft to take away a man's honor, a young girl's virginity, to take a wife from her husband, just as to take a neighbor's ox or to plunder his trees. Then theft, aggravated by passion or false testimony, becomes aggravated by adultery, or impurity, or lying."
