Stealing and falsifying are kindred sins. The latter is often necessary to the former (see ch. 6:2). There are many ways of stealing as well as of lying. Also, there are borderline cases, and these are probably the most common ones. God desires truth in the inward parts (Ps. 51:6), and anything that savors of craftiness or hypocrisy is an abomination to Him (see Eph. 4:14; 1 Tim. 4:2).
