ISB ~ Romans 7 v7

You shall not covet:The preface to the final two LIU commandments of the Decalogue (Ex 20:17).

• The laws against coveting another’s wife and property show that the Torah censures not just outward acts, but even interior acts hidden in the heart. So not only do the commandments heighten our awareness of sin (3:20), they show that our vulnerability to sin lies deep within.
