Thefts, stolen goods, or acts of stealing
This noun denotes stolen items or acts of theft, derived from the verb 'to steal.' Revelation 9:21 lists thefts among the sins from which plague-stricken humanity refuses to repent, alongside murders, sorceries, and sexual immorality. The Spanish 'robos,' French 'Diebstahl,' and German equivalent all converge on theft. This catalog of unrepented sins emphasizes humanity's stubborn rebellion even under judgment.
