Coveting is to wish, long, or crave for (something, especially the property of another person). It can lead to greed, envy, strife, anger, jealousy, hatred, theft even murder, or doing bodily harm to possess that which one covets. Always wishing to have more is not a good thing because you generally become less satisfied with what you do have. Paul said "Covet only the best gifts".

What does covet your neighbors wife mean?

The Biblical prohibition against coveting is the prohibition against wanting the possessions of another. For covering a wife, it is necessary to understand that until recently a wife was a chattel (a possession) of the husband, not a person. She was lumped in with livestock and other physical possessions. It is assumed that you would be coveting if you just wanted to have sex with her, not own her.Interestingly the Christian god has not bothered to impose the "no coveting" restriction on wives that lust after other women's husbands.
