Tenth Commandment

J. The Tenth Commandment

You must not desire your neighbor’s wife, servant, maid, animals or anything that belongs to him.()

Q. What does this mean?

A. We must fear and love God, so that we will not release our neighbor’s cattle, take his employees from him or seduce his wife, but urge them to stay and do what they ought to do.
