The Unique Command to "Defraud Not"
Commentators note that the command "Defraud not" is unique to Mark's account. They explain it's a practical application of the tenth commandment against coveting, specifically challenging the wealthy man. It prompts a self-examination of our own financial dealings: Are there any ill-gotten gains, sharp bargains, or withheld wages in our own lives?
