what is the tenth commandment in the bible?
thou shalt not covet
catholic teaching on the prohibition of greed and envy center around christ's admonishments to desire and store up treasure in heaven rather than on earth, "for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." the tenth commandment is regarded as completing and unfolding the ninth. the tenth commandment forbids coveting the goods of another, as the root of the stealing and fraud forbidden by the commandment, "you shall not steal." "lust of the eyes" leads to the violence and injustice forbidden by the commandment, "you shall not murder." covetousness, like sexual immorality, originates in the idolatry prohibited by the first three commandments. along with the ninth commandment, the tenth summarizes the entire ten commandments, by focusing on the intentions and desires of the heart.
