Question 148

1 Kings 21:4

^21:4 And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.

^21:4 So Ahab went to his palace, sullen and angry because Naboth the Jezreelite had told him, "I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers." He lay down on his bed, turned his face away, and refused to eat.

Esther 5:13

^5:13 Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.

James 3:14; James 3:16

^3:14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. ^3:16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

^3:14 But if you harbor bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast in it or deny the truth. ^3:16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every evil practice.

Psalm 112:9–10

^112:9 He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor. ^112:10 The wicked man will see and be grieved; he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the desires of the wicked will perish.

Romans 7:7–8

^7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. ^7:8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.

^7:7 What then shall we say? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed, I would not have been mindful of sin if not for the law. For I would not have been aware of coveting if the law had not said, "Do not covet." ^7:8 But sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from the law, sin is dead.

Romans 13:9

^13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

^13:9 The commandments "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do not steal," "Do not covet," and any other commandments, are summed up in this one decree: "Love your neighbor as yourself."

^3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

^3:5 Put to death, therefore, the components of your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, and greed, which is idolatry.
