'Thief' in the Bible

But understand this: that if the master of the house had known what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into.

Sell your possessions and give charitable gifts. Make for yourselves money bags that do not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven where thief does not approach or moth destroy.

But understand this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief was coming, he would not have left his house to be broken into.

"Truly, truly I say to you, the one who does not enter through the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up at some other place--that one is a thief and a robber.

The thief {comes only} so that he can steal and kill and destroy; I have come so that they may have life, and have [it] abundantly.

(Now he said this not because {he was concerned} about the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, he used to steal what was put into [it].)

for [you] yourselves well know that the day of the Lord is coming in the [same] way as a thief in the night.

But you, brothers, are not in the darkness, so that the day should catch you like a thief,

By all means do not let anyone of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler.

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will disappear with a rushing noise, and the celestial bodies will be destroyed [by] being burned up, and the earth and the deeds [done] on it will be disclosed.

Therefore remember how you have received and heard, and observe [it], and repent. If therefore you are not on the alert, I will come like a thief, and you will never know [at] what hour I will come against you.

(Behold, I am coming like a thief. Blessed [is] the one who is on the alert and who keeps his clothing, so that he does not walk around naked and they see his shamefulness!)
