Which behavior is described as a way to live out the 9th commandment?

• A. Don't covet your neighbor's wife.
• B. Don't be jealous of other people's relationship.
• C. Don't steal from your neighbor.
• D. Help your neighbor keep his house.

Answer: (B)

The main idea is how inner attitudes reflect obedience to the ninth commandment, which guards the integrity of desires toward others’ relationships. Not being jealous of other people’s relationships shows a heart that rejects covetous longing and instead aims for contentment and respect for others’ commitments. Jealousy reveals an inward covetousness that can distort judgment and actions, so choosing to refrain from it embodies living out the commandment in daily life. The other options either restate coveting in a more literal sense, or describe actions not directly tied to cultivating a faithful inner disposition toward others’ relationships.
