Excuse me? Now we interpret the Word of God according to modern day English? Here is the verse with the Strongs #s after each word. Following this is the Kings James Concordance with every instance of the word and its translation.

From G1937; a longing (especially for what is forbidden): - concupiscence, desire, lust (after).

From G1909 and G2372; to set the heart upon, that is, long for (rightfully or otherwise): - covet, desire, would fain, lust (after).

You actually meant this word in Matthew 5:28 friend. Yes, I read the word covet in there out of Strongs.

Try again.
