'Covetousness' in the Bible

Thou shalt not covet;' and the sin having received an opportunity, through the command, did work in me all covetousness -- for apart from law sin is dead.

Necessary, therefore, I thought it to exhort the brethren, that they may go before to you, and may make up before your formerly announced blessing, that this be ready, as a blessing, and not as covetousness.

for at no time did we come with speech of flattery, (as ye have known,) nor in a pretext for covetousness, (God is witness!)
