THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MARK - Chapter 10 - Verse 19

Verse 19. Defraud not. Do not take away your neighbour's property by fraud or dishonesty. To cheat or defraud supposes a covetous desire of a neighbour's property, and is usually attended with falsehood or false witness against a neighbour in obtaining it. It is thus a violation of the ninth and tenth commandments; and our Saviour very properly, therefore, condensed the two, and expressed their substance in this—not to defraud. It is, besides, expressly forbidden in Le 19:13—"Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour."
