AC 8910 - Thou shalt not covet.....

AC 8910
Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's house,
thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife,
and his manservant, and his maidservant,
and his ox, and his ass,
and anything that is thy neighbor's.

That this signifies that one must beware of the love of self and of the world,
and thus lest the evils
which are contained in the preceding commandments
become of the will and so come forth,
is evident from the signification of
"coveting" [concupiscere], as being to will from an evil love.
That "coveting" has this signification,
is because all concupiscence is of some love;
for nothing is coveted [concupiscitur] unless it is loved,
and therefore concupiscence [or "coveting"] is the continuous of love,
in this case of the love of self or of the world,
and is as it were the life of its breath.
For that which an evil love breathes is called "concupiscence,"
but that which a good love breathes is called "desire."
Love itself belongs to the other part of the mind, which is called the will,
for whatever a person loves he wills. . .
"thou shalt not covet the things that are thy neighbor's,"
is signified that one must beware lest they become of the will;
for the things which become of the will are appropriated to a person,
because the will is the person himself.
