Andreas Hyperius, a 16th-century Flemish Lutheran/Reformed theologian, reads “You shall not steal” with unnerving specificity: withholding wages, shaving pay, defaulting on what is owed. His moral clarity assumes obedience reaches into ordinary economic life—even where raising such concerns makes people bristle. Scripture leaves little room for comfortable evasions.
