Thou shalt not steal.

Ver. 15. Thou shalt not steal,] i.e., Not rob or wrong another, either by force or fraud a 1Th 4:6 See Trapp on " 1Th 4:6 " Basil chargeth the devil as a thief of the truth, in that he had decked his crows with her feathers. And it was of the devil surely that she had learned her answer, who, being charged by her mistress for stealing her linens, and other things which she found in her trunk, said, that she stole them not: and when she was asked, How came they to be laid and locked up there? did not you do this? No, said she, it was not I, but sin that dwelleth in me. b See Trapp (for summary of Law) on " Exo 20:17 "
