Acts 5:4

Before you sold it, didn't it belong to you? And after you sold it, wasn't the money yours? [In Greek, a negative particle is used in both of these questions, which expect an implied positive answer: "yes, both the land and the money belonged to you."] Why did you decide this in your heart? You have not lied to people, but to God." [The sin was not that they did not give the full amount, but that they pretended to do so. All giving in the early church was voluntary, see verse 4.]
