'Thief' in the Bible

and this know, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief doth come, he had watched, and not suffered his house to be broken through;

sell your goods, and give alms, make to yourselves bags that become not old, a treasure unfailing in the heavens, where thief doth not come near, nor moth destroy;

'And this know, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief doth come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through;

'Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is not entering through the door to the fold of the sheep, but is going up from another side, that one is a thief and a robber;

The thief doth not come, except that he may steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

and he said this, not because he was caring for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and what things were put in he was carrying.

for yourselves have known thoroughly that the day of the Lord as a thief in the night doth so come,

and ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day may catch you as a thief;

for let none of you suffer as a murderer, or thief, or evil-doer, or as an inspector into other men's matters;

and it will come -- the day of the Lord -- as a thief in the night, in which the heavens with a rushing noise will pass away, and the elements with burning heat be dissolved, and earth and the works in it shall be burnt up.

'Remember, then, how thou hast received, and heard, and be keeping, and reform: if, then, thou mayest not watch, I will come upon thee as a thief, and thou mayest not know what hour I will come upon thee.

lo, I do come as a thief; happy is he who is watching, and keeping his garments, that he may not walk naked, and they may see his unseemliness,' --
