1א. מִי שֶׁנִּפְתָּה לִבּוֹ לִגְזל וְכֵיוָן שֶׁהִתִּיר לְעַצְמוֹ גְּזֵלַת חֲבֵרוֹ, הֲרֵי הוּא מוּכָן לְכָל חֵטְא וְעָוֹן, וְאֵין תַּקָּנָה לַהֲסִירוֹ מִדַּרְכּוֹ הָרָעָה.Once a person whose heart is tempted to steal permits himself that which belongs to another, he is capable of committing any sin. There are no means to rectify this, to turn him from his evil ways.
