Robbery
Robbery: Practised by the Ishmaelites (Genesis 16:12) the Chaldeans and Sabeans (Job 1:15,17) and the men of Shechem (Judges 9:25) See also (1 Samuel 27:6-10; 30:1; Hosea 4:2; 6:9) Robbers infested Judea in our Lord's time (Luke 10:30; John 18:40; Acts 5:36,37; 21:38; 2 Corinthians 11:26) The words of the Authorized Version, "counted it not robbery to be equal," etc. (Philippians 2:6,7) are better rendered in the Revised Version, "counted it not a prize to be on an equality," etc., i.e., "did not look upon equality with God as a prize which must not slip from his grasp" "did not cling with avidity to the prerogatives of his divine majesty; did not ambitiously display his equality with God." "Robbers of churches" should be rendered, as in the Revised Version, "of temples." In the temple at Ephesus there was a great treasure-chamber, and as all that was laid up there was under the guardianship of the goddess Diana, to steal from such a place would be sacrilege (Acts 19:37)
