Catechism Reading:

The Ninth Commandment

You shall not covet your neighbor's house.

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 Tenth 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.

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.
