Notes:
Bible Reference - TEV
The Ten Commandments presented on this page is the Catholic version. The Catholic version divides covetousness into two: coveting someone’s wife (the 9th commandment) and coveting someone’s properties (the 10th commandment). In addition, the Protestant version lists the prohibition on covetousness as the 10th commandment and the prohibition on idolatry as the 2nd Commandment. The Jewish and Christian versions are similar to the Protestant version.
