One not thinking to take from Scripture (5)
I believe the answer is:
robot
'one not thinking' is the definition.
'take from scripture' is the wordplay.
'take from' becomes 'rob' (I've seen this before).
'scripture' becomes 'ot' (Old Testament).
'rob'+'ot'='ROBOT'
'to' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for robot that I've seen before include "Soulless worker" , "Automatic worker?" , "programmed servant" , "Unpaid worker" , "Automation" .)
