Scriptures – When You are Envious

29 December 2009 No Comment

Job 5:2

2 Resentment kills a fool,
and envy slays the simple.

Proverbs 14:30

30 A heart at peace gives life to the body,
but envy rots the bones.

James 3:14-15

14But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. 15Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. 16For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.

1 Peter 2:1

1Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind.

Romans 13:13

3Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.

1 Timothy 6:4

3If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, 4he is conceited and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions
