Envy
Definition:
Sin, when full-blown, produces destruction, tragedy and death. As such the jealous person may soon find themselves with undesirable, destructive emotions. A judgmental attitude comes, and hate may follow. Thus it turns into the loss of their spiritual connection with God.
Scripture

Galatians 5:19-21. The deeds of the flesh are quite evident when we observe the behavior of those who display immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, strife and jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these. God forewarned us that individuals who put into practice such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

James 1:14-15. Each one is tempted when he gets carried away by his own lust. When lust has been embraced by anyone, it gives birth to sin. Sin brings forth death.

Proverbs 3:31-32. Do not envy man of his aggression, and do not embrace any of his ways. The warped person is a disgrace to the Lord. God has a close and personal relationship with those who are upright through His son Jesus the Christ.

Proverbs 3:3. Never allow kindness and truths to leave you, bind them about your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart.

Proverbs 14:30 A serene heart is life to the boy, but passion is decay to the bones.

Galatians 5:25-26. When we live in the Spirit let us also walk in the Spirit. Don’t become boastful, challenging, or envious of one another.

Proverbs 23:16-17. My inmost being will rejoice when your mouth speaks out with what is right. Do not let your heart envy sinners, but remember God may not tolerate your sin any longer.

Ezekiel 35:11. As I live, declares the Lord God, I will deal with everyone according to their anger and according to their anger which they have shown because of their hatred against others. I will make myself known in the midst of them when I judge them.

Mathew 27:18. Jesus knew that because of envy they had delivered Him up.

Mark 15:10. Christ knew that the chief priests had delivered Him up because of their envy.

Romans: 13:12-14. The night is almost ended, the day is at hand. Let us for that reason lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us conduct ourselves properly as in the day, don’t continue carousing, drunkenness, sexual promiscuity, sensuality, in strife and jealousy. Arm yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the flesh in regard to the lust it harbors.
