What does it mean to covet?

Coveting is when you want what someone else has. Envying is when you don’t want someone else to have what they’ve been given. Coveting wants to gain something for yourself. Envy wants to deny something to someone else. Coveting is saying, “I want the same as you.” Envy says, “I don’t want you to have more than me.

“Buy the truth, and sell it not”

— Proverbs 23:23
