The covetous man feareth not God. This also is plain from the word because it setteth covetousness and the fear of God in direct opposition. Men that fear God are said to hate covetousness, Exod. xviii. 21. Besides the covetous man is called an idolater and is said to have no part in the kingdom of Christ and of God, Col. iii. 5. And again; 'The wicked boasteth of his heart's desire and blesseth the covetous whom the Lord abhorreth,' Psa. x. 3. β¨ John Bunyan (1851). Christian Behaviour: A Holy Life, the Beauty of Christianity, the Fear of God, and an Exhortation to Unity and Peace to which is Added a Caution Against Sin, p.322
