therefore need to observe the New Testament’s teachings on topics such as honesty, truthfulness, honourable behaviour, purloining, exploitation and the like, as exemplified in Paul’s list of spiritual fruits (Gal. 5:22; cf. Rom. 12:17; Eph. 4:25, 32; Phil. 4:8; Titus 2:10, etc.). Before the offender in any of the matters specified could be forgiven, he had first to make appropriate restitution and pay a premium of an extra one-fifth of the value of the property, presumably in weighed amounts of silver.
