Know ye not that the unrighteous
shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor
idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with
mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor
extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
Notice that the covetous are
named between thieves and drunkards. We lock up thieves, and have no mercy on
them. We loathe drunkards, and consider them great sinners against the law of
God as well as the law of the land. Yet there is far more said in the Bible
against covetousness than against either stealing or drunkenness.
