The 10th commandment exposes sin at the root: not just what we do, but what we want. Coveting is discontent that quietly accuses God’s providence—and the opposite of coveting isn’t poverty, but gratitude. Christ frees us by cleansing the heart and giving new desires.
"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's." — Exodus 20:17
