The Commandment
Covetousness is unlawful desire, and is a gateway to all other sin. We must guard against covetousness and not allow it any place in our hearts.
Exodus 20.17
“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.”
Deuteronomy 5.21
“‘And you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. And you shall not desire your neighbor’s house, his field, or his male servant, or his female servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.’”
Luke 12.13-21; Ephesians 5.5; Colossians 3.5; 1 Timothy 6.6-8
