"Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. With his wife;s full knowledge he kept back par of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put in at the apostles' feet. Then Peter said, "Ananias how is it that Satan has so filled your hear that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land?
"What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied to men but to God. --Selected from Acts 5: 1-2 KJV
