One of the Ten Commandments

Thou shalt not covet.
Share a commentYour life can feel perfectly content until one moment of comparison flips the switch: their car, their house, their promotion, their marriage, their lifestyle. We take that familiar spark of jealousy and follow it to its source, because the Bible names it with uncomfortable clarity: covetousness, a greed-shaped “passion for possessing” that pulls our attention into “I, me, mine” and quietly trains us to live for more.We walk through the Tenth Commandment in Exodus 20 and show why “You shall not covet” is not mainly about what your hands do, but what your heart rehearses in secret. From there, we move into Luke 12 where Jesus warns us to be on guard against every form of greed and tells the parable of the rich fool. The problem is not that the man has wealth; it is that he forgets his neighbor, ignores his mortality, and lives as if God is not part of the equation. The result is a life stocked with goods but starved of meaning.Then we connect the dots people often miss: anxiety and worry can be downstream of materialism. Jesus' words about ravens and lilies become a diagnostic test for our priorities. What matters more to us right now, getting more financially or growing spiritually? What concerns us most, having money we can manage or having God manage us?

Are you tired of chasing things that never seem to satisfy?. In this message, CJ Ward breaks down the final commandment in the Decalogue: "You shall not covet.". Far from being a rule about behavior, this is a diagnostic tool for our hearts. When we desire things we do not have, we lose contentment for the things we do have. In this video, you will learn: Why Coveting is Different: Why this is the only commandment focused on a feeling rather than an action. The "Mordor" Effect: How desire, when left unchecked, becomes a consuming fire that burns up our peace. The Created Purpose: Why you were built for a relationship with an eternal God, not for finite material gain. Breaking the Cycle: How the cross of Jesus tore the veil, making the relationship with God accessible to you today. Scripture: Exodus 20:17.

Season 2, Episode 119In this episode, Michael and Zach continue their series on sin, desire, identity, and holiness by examining the biblical doctrine of concupiscence and the ongoing struggle against indwelling sin. Building on the previous discussion of original sin and fallen human nature, the conversation addresses a difficult question: What should Christians think about sinful desires that seem to arise without conscious choice? Drawing from passages such as James 1, Romans 7, Galatians 5, Hebrews 4, and the Tenth Commandment, the episode explores the distinction between external temptation and inward corruption, the historic debate over whether sinful desire is itself sin, and why the Reformers insisted that disordered desires must be taken seriously as part of humanity's fallenness. Along the way, Michael and Zach discuss the sinlessness of Christ, the doctrine of impeccability, the reality of remaining corruption in the believer, and the Spirit-empowered battle of sanctification. The episode concludes with a message of both honesty and hope: the presence of sinful desire is not proof that grace is absent, but neither is it something to celebrate. Rather, the Christian life is a real war against sin in which God progressively transforms His people through the gospel, His Spirit, and the ordinary means of grace.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/M9nVPTdYieUMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stoneLicense code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

The Tenth Commandment forbids more than wanting good things. It warns against desires that grow unchecked — desires that become demands, and when unmet, harden into envy and resentment. But here's the tension: if coveting helped create the problems we inherited, what makes any generation think it will be different? Every generation says, “We'll be different.” Yet real change begins when we recognize the problem is not only around us, but within us.

In this episode we continue a study on the ten commandments with the Tenth Commandment and see some amazing truths on these foundational principles.
Today's Reading: Catechism: Tenth CommandmentDaily Lectionary: Genesis 47:1-31; Genesis 48:1-49:28; Mark 13:24-37Urge them to stay and do their duty. (Small Catechism)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.I have found it helpful when trying to understand a word or concept to try to consider its opposite. So what's the opposite of coveting? Contentment. Instead of an unhealthy obsession with what I do not have, to be content or satisfied with what I do have, with what I've been given. Such contentment is a gift. And something many people want. A good picture of this might be of children on a playground. They are free to play, run, pretend, and have fun because Mom and Dad are there and provide all they need. That's true for us as children of God! Because we have a Father in heaven who created us and gave us life, His Son who redeemed us and forgives us, and the Holy Spirit who gives us the Gift of contentment. As a child of God, I am free to live and enjoy life!But sadly, we don't always live that way. We listen to a culture that encourages us to want more and more, bigger and better. To not be satisfied with what you have. What happens then is that we become slaves to our desires, unhappy, and caught up in pursuing what we don't have. That's why St. Paul calls coveting idolatry (Colossians 3:5), that is, something that takes the place of God in our hearts. And with that, Paul has “closed the loop” on the Commandments that also begin with idolatry. The First Commandment teaches us that we have a God who wants to be our God and Father, and the Tenth Commandment teaches us that we have a God and Father who wants to provide everything for us and for our neighbor. I don't have to covet what God has given my neighbor because I know He has good He has planned for me and wants to give to me. So just as I can support my neighbor in every physical need, help him to improve and protect his possessions and income, and protect his reputation, I can also urge my neighbor's wife, workers, and animals to stay and do their duty, because I know God has given them to him and will provide for me. For if God did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for me and my spiritual life, I can be sure He will also graciously give me all I need for my physical life as well (Romans 8:32). He promised!In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Heavenly Father, You have made me Your child in Baptism and made me an heir of all Your gracious promises in Christ Jesus. By Your Holy Spirit, strengthen me to forsake all covetous desires that my heart cling to You alone for all I am, all I need, and all my joy; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
In this episode, Pastor Jeff continues exploring Faith Question 12, focusing on the Tenth Commandment and God's call to live with contentment rather than envy. We'll learn how comparing ourselves to others can steal our joy and how thankfulness helps us remember the good gifts God has already given us. Galatians 5:26 "Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another."

The Tenth Commandment is against “coveting.”That's an old-fashioned concept that no one really seems to talk about any more.Which is a shame, because coveting is a sure way to be unhappy.This is because coveting is wanting something that isn't yours to have.Including someone else's life. And wanting something that isn't yours to have is a sure way to be miserable.It's like when Peter asked Jesus what the future held for the Apostle John.Jesus's response? “What's that to you, Peter?”It's the same for us—we are constantly allowing ourselves to covet things that aren't ours: other people's lives or bodies or families or bank accounts.The only solution to this is gratitude.

A little debate broke out on social media when a left-wing progressive mocked the idea that “absolute” standards of living are more important than “relative” ones. To some, what people aspire to is merely “to have a better life than the people around them,” and not “to have a better life.”What is the truth here? And does it matter? If people really are merely concerned with “upping” their neighbors, couldn't we do that pretty easily without driving burdensome things like “progress”?On today's Capital Record, David takes on the reality of human nature and the fundamental aim of economics. Ultimately, we find ourselves back to the Tenth Commandment to resolve one tension, and to the Garden of Eden to resolve another! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What does the Tenth Commandment have to do with Target runs, Amazon carts, and Instagram ads? In this episode, Mark and Emily explore “Do not covet” and talk honestly about living in a world designed to stir desire and fuel discontent.They discuss why coveting runs deeper than wanting stuff — it's about wanting someone else's life — and why modern advertising, comparison culture, and curated online lifestyles make contentment both harder and more essential. With practical ideas like 24-hour purchase rules, fasting from buying, gratitude habits, and learning to rejoice in others' good, this conversation invites us into a lifestyle shaped by worship, simplicity, and joy in God's provision.Resources:Cornerstone Church Sermons: Listen online
In the final episode of our series on the Ten Commandments, we dive into the powerful principle behind the Tenth Commandment: gratitude. Why do we constantly desire what others have? Why does happiness always seem just out of reach? Tim and Kimberly unpack how coveting steals joy, the psychological trap of the hedonic treadmill, and the biblical antidote: cultivating gratitude for what God has already given us. Learn practical ways to develop contentment, strengthen your spiritual perspective, and experience true joy rooted in Christ.

In this closing episode of the Ten Commandments series, Rabbi Josh Feigelson explores the final commandment: Do not covet. He reflects on envy, desire, and Ibn Ezra's teaching that all mitzvot aim to straighten the heart—reminding us to live with gratitude, mindfulness, and compassion as we enter a new year.

“You must not covet your neighbor’s house. You must not covet your neighbor’s wife, male or female servant, ox or donkey, or anything else that belongs to your neighbor.” (Exodus 20:17 NLT) The tenth and final commandment stands apart. While the other commandments, to a large extent, deal with what we do outwardly, this one deals with what we do inwardly. While the other commandments deal primarily with actions, this one deals with a state of mind and heart. A Roman Catholic priest who heard the confessions of thousands of people said he listened to folks admit to sins of almost every kind, including adultery and even murder. But he could not recall even one person who confessed to the sin of coveting. Maybe that’s because no one knew what it was. Coveting is looking at something, admiring it, and essentially taking it. For instance, let’s say your friend has a car. You say, “I like that car.” That’s not coveting. You say, “I want a car like it.” Still not coveting. You say, “I’m going to buy a car just like it.” Still not coveting. You say, “I want your car.” That is a problem. You say, “I’m taking your car.” That’s coveting—and grand theft auto, in this case. It is taking something that belongs to another. Something that was never meant to be yours. You’ll notice that the commandment says, “You must not covet your neighbor’s wife.” It’s not wrong to want a wife or a husband, but it is wrong to want someone else’s wife or husband. Second Samuel 11 tells the story of King David and Bathsheba. David saw Bathsheba bathing, asked about her, and discovered that she was the wife of Uriah the Hittite, one of David’s loyal soldiers. David demanded that Bathsheba be brought to him. He coveted her—and thus began his downfall. He committed adultery with her. He arranged for her husband to be killed in battle. He tried to cover it up by lying. David set in motion a series of broken commandments when he coveted. He, like everyone else, discovered that keeping the Ten Commandments is practically impossible. And that’s the point of them. How many of the Ten Commandments have you broken? Have you misused God’s name? Have you failed to honor your father and mother? Have you stolen anything? Have you lied? Have you committed adultery? Have you coveted? If so, you experienced the need to repent and ask God for forgiveness. The Ten Commandments aren’t intended to frustrate us or make us miserable. They’re intended to show us our need for repentance and forgiveness. The Ten Commandments weren’t given to try to make us holy. They were given to show us that we can’t be holy through our own ability. We are all guilty before God. The good news is that when Christ died on the cross, He atoned for every broken commandment. He took our penalty and our punishment on Himself. He died in our place so that we can be forgiven.

What did Yeshua mean when he said looking at a woman with lustful intent is adultery in the heart? Was he setting an impossible standard—or affirming the Tenth Commandment against coveting? This powerful teaching explores Matthew 5:27–30 with Torah context and clarity, addressing the heart behind sexual sin. In this teaching, we unpack Yeshua's words in Matthew 5 about lustful intent. Many have interpreted this passage as setting an unattainable moral bar—but does that reflect what the Torah and Yeshua actually say? By examining the language of coveting in Exodus 20, the grammar of Matthew, and related Scripture from James and Genesis, we see that Yeshua is affirming an existing commandment, not raising the bar to impossible heights. This message also speaks clearly to the issues of pornography, inner desires, and modern application—calling believers to redirect their hearts and intentions toward righteousness. Spiritual Takeaway - Yeshua isn't condemning desire itself—he's calling us to align our hearts with Torah, refusing to covet what is forbidden and walking in holiness by the Spirit.
