This teaching underscores a deep systemic problem in society that has been a part of humanity for millennia. Paul characterized it as the 'carnal' attitude, that was opposed to God's will and would ultimately end in death. The way of thieves was one of deception, as their intent was to gain through stealth what was not rightfully theirs. So do we follow this way or support it by our actions or attitudes?
