[Confiscation means] to take and keep things which belong to someone else. "And when we do not give alms, we are punished in the same way as those who are confiscating."
Greek original · Adler’s text
Ἀποστέρησις· τὸ τὰ ἀλλότρια λαβόντας κατέχειν. καὶ ὅταν ἐλεημοσύνην μὴ παράσχωμεν, ἐν ἴσῳ τοῖς ἀποστεροῦσι κολαζόμεθα.
