Small Catechism: 9th & 10th Commandments (Covet)

The 9th Commandment You shall not covet your neighbor's house. (God's gift of contentment) What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not scheme to get our neighbor's inheritance or house, or get it in a way which only appears right, but help and be of service to him in keeping it. The 10th Commandment You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor. (God's gift of contentment) What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not entice or force away our neighbor's wife, workers, or animals, or turn them against him, but urge them to stay and do their duty. ~~ In addition to this audio podcast, you can view the videos of this series on YouTube via this playlist: http://bit.ly/flc-small-catechism
