Covet [1]

kuv´et ( אוה , 'āwāh  ; ζηλόω , zēlóō , "to desire earnestly," "to set the heart and mind upon anything"): Used in two senses: good , simply to desire earnestly but legitimately. e.g. the King James Version  1 Corinthians 12:31;  1 Corinthians 14:39; bad , to desire unlawfully, or to secure illegitimately (בּצע , bāca‛  ; ἐπιθυμέω , epithuméō ,  Romans 7:7;  Romans 13:9 , etc.); hence, called "lust" ( Matthew 5:28;  1 Corinthians 10:6 ), "concupiscence" (the King James Version  Romans 7:8;  Colossians 3:5 ).
