Title: What scripture passage is this?
Post by: Cryptinox on September 27, 2023, 02:36:23 PM

I remember reading articles on usury a while back and there was a passage cited (by Aquinas?) where a righteous man from the Bible let thieves or some people afflicting him of the property they can take in order to save his life and others. Does anyone know what passage in question this is? I know it is in the Old Testament but I don't know which book.
