Q. 10

The Tenth Commandment: Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his cattle, nor anything that is his.

A.

We should fear and love God so that we do not estrange, force, or entice away our neighbor's wife, servants, or cattle, but urge them to stay and do their duty. The Conclusion: God threatens to punish all that transgress these commandments. Therefore we should dread His wrath and not act contrary to them. But He promises grace and every blessing to all that keep these commandments. Therefore we should also love and trust in Him, and gladly do according to His commandments.
