Lev 19:12 | KingComments | STEP | It is a great sin if we withhold from others what we owe them. This applies both literally ( ) and spiritually ( ). What we do to our neighbor, we do to ourselves. In the body of Christ we are united as members. What one member does, affects the other. If one member suffers, all members suffer. The fact that this is not always experienced in this way does not take away anything from the truth of it.

‏ Leviticus 19:12

Swear Falsely, Oppress, Rob and Wages

It is a great sin if we withhold from others what we owe them. This applies both literally (Jam 5:4) and spiritually (Mt 18:32b-33). What we do to our neighbor, we do to ourselves. In the body of Christ we are united as members. What one member does, affects the other. If one member suffers, all members suffer. The fact that this is not always experienced in this way does not take away anything from the truth of it.
