ADMONITIONS AGAINST ENVY AND JEALOUSY

 

1. The Bible warns against envy and jealousy, as they are harmful to the soul and lead to disorder and evil.

2. Some scriptures about envy and jealousy are:

   • Exodus 34:14 - For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

   • Proverbs 14:30 - A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but Envy the rottenness of the bones.

   • Proverbs 23:17 - Let not thine heart Envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.

   • James 3:14-16 - But if ye have bitter Envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

   • 1 Corinthians 13:4 - Love is patient, love is kind. It does not Envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

And I Saw that All Labor

And All Achievement

Spring from man’s ENVY

Of his Neighbor.

This Too is Meaningless

A Chasing after the Wind.

(Ecclesiastes 4:5)
