The Tenth Commandment You Shall Not Covet Your Neighbor’s Goods

The Tenth Commandment “You shall not covet your neighbor’s goods.” This commandment teaches us to practice the virtues of poverty of spirit and generosity of the heart. It teaches that we should give up the love of money which is greed and avarice. Detachment from material wealth frees us from this world and can lead to true happiness. It teaches that desiring what is someone else’s can lead to other sins such as stealing, fraud, and murder. This is the lust of a different sort: wealth, money, power Sins to avoid: greed, avarice Virtue to acquire: generosity, charity

The Tenth Commandment “You shall not covet your neighbor’s goods.” Avarice is an excessive desire to accumulate wealth and the power behind wealth. It makes wealth and money a god. It turns a person’s heart cold and unscrupulous. People who are avaricious can never have enough. Scrooge Greed is the passion of wanting more and more material goods. Greed causes one to desire the best or trendiest things. The Joneses Envy is caused by Greed. Envy can blind us to the truth that all blessings come from God. Envy causes one to be jealous of what other people possess and lead to other sins such as hatred, lying, calumny, or even murder. The Joneses

The Tenth Commandment “You shall not covet your neighbor’s goods.” “It would be easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle…” (Mt. 19: 16-25) “Do not store for yourselves treasure on earth where moth and decay destroy…” (Mt 6: ) “Money is the root of all evil…” NOT. “ The love of money is the root of all evil.” (1 Tim 6:10)
