[Dogbert41]

7 Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat its grapes? Who tends a flock and does not drink the milk? 8 Do I say this merely on human authority? Doesn’t the Law say the same thing? 9 For it is written in the Law of Moses: “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.”[b] Is it about oxen that God is concerned? 10 Surely he says this for us, doesn’t he? Yes, this was written for us, because whoever plows and threshes should be able to do so in the hope of sharing in the harvest. 11 If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you? 12 If others have this right of support from you, shouldn’t we have it all the more? But we did not use this right. On the contrary, we put up with anything rather than hinder the gospel of Christ. 13 Don’t you know that those who serve in the temple get their food from the temple, and that those who serve at the altar share in what is offered on the altar? 14 In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.

1 Corinthians 9:7-14

Just something to consider...

the employee gets their share in form of paycheck. what this woman is accused of is theft, taking some thing more from her employer than agreed upon for her employment.

also the context of what you posted is about a preacher being supported. though it gives examples of other ways employers may choose to share with employees, it doesn’t mean the employee gets to choose what they take from employer.

The problem with using the Bible to passively establish a ‘right’ for thievery is that it’s still theft. Using that particular passage, a person working in an office store is free to take office store supplies, a hospital working...medicine and guazes...family diner...walk food out of the back door of the kitchen... When I worked at a fast food place in the 70s we were allowed food on breaks up to a certain $ amount. We knew from being raised correctly that anything over that amount was theft; didn’t even have to be told that by any Management. She took what wasn’t hers. If it did happen over time it showed she had the mindset for taking other things as well... I’m concerned, yes, with why it took someone so long to say something and did this person speak to her in the past to try to dissuade her from stealing.
