We are commanded to love our neighbour. Not to cheat, steal and betray our neighbour. Not to do this to only the neighbours who are theologically or politically correct.

Romans 13

8Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. 9The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery; You shall not murder; You shall not steal; You shall not covet”; and any other commandment, are summed up in this word, “Love your neighbour as yourself.” 10Love does no wrong to a neighbour; therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law.

We are told to keep short accounts: to not be in debt (that is under obligation). We are to do right. And… Paul is quoting a Rabbi, who when Jesus asked what was the greatest commandment, said love the LORD your God, and the second is love your neighbour as yourself. Jesus said he had answered rightly.

For believers, this has no limit. But we cannot force this on non believers. And, the very fact that Paul  has to say not to do these things… implies that they did happen.

And still happen. For we are fallen, and continue to make provision for the flesh.
