The Duty God Requires of Man
What is forbidden in the tenth commandment?
Answer
The tenth commandment forbiddeth all discontentment with our own estate (1 Kings 21:4; Esther 5:13; 1 Corinthians 10:10), envying or grieving at the good of our neighbour (Galatians 5:26; James 3:14,16), and all inordinate motions and affections to anything that is his (Romans 7:7-8; 13:9; Deuteronomy 5:21).
