What the Bible says about: Envy
| Job 5:2 |
For wrath killeth the foolish man, and |
| Proverbs 23:17 | Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long. |
| Galatians 5:19-21 | Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, |
| Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, | |
| Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. | |
| Galatians 5:26 | Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. |
| James 3:13-18 | Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. |
| But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. | |
|
This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, |
|
|
For where envying and strife is, there is |
|
|
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, |
|
| And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace. | |
| 1 Peter 2:1-3 | Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, |
| As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: | |
| If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. |
