RESTITUTION

God's word teaches: That restitution is making amends for wrongs done against our fellowmen, restoring stolen things to their rightful owners, paying back debts where one defrauded, making confession to the offended and apologizing to the slandered so as to have a conscience void of offense towards God and man (Genesis 20:1-8; 14-18; Exodus 22:1-7; Leviticus 6:1-7; Numbers 5:6-8; 2Samuel 12-1-6; Proverbs6:31; Ezekiel 33:14-16; Matthew 5:23-24; Luke 19:8-9; Acts 23:1-5; 24:16; James4:17; 5:6).
