It’s one of the 10 commandments. “You shall not covet” Exodus 20:17
Covetousness, envious, jealousy or resentment, whichever word you choose to use, it’s still an ugly heart condition.
Merriam-Webster defines envy as “painful or resentful awareness of an advantage enjoyed by another joined with a desire to possess the same advantage”.
Ouch! Painful or resentful! Yet, who hasn’t been envious of someone at one time or another in their life. I still remember a time in elementary school I was envious of something someone else had. It didn’t end well for me.
Pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth. The 7 deadly sins.
Jude 1:7 as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
In His Name
