No one is perfect – therefore, feeling jealous from time to time is perfectly natural. However, as Christians, we do not want to be covetous of others. That’s why if you’re ever feeling envious, take some time to reflect on these Bible verses on jealousy. Over time, you should feel better about your issues if you just turn to the Bible and ask God to help you with your jealous feelings.
- Psalms 37:1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. —
- Proverbs 27:4 Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy? —
- Romans 13:13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. —
- 1-Corinthians 3:3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? —
- Philippians 2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. —
- James 3:15 This wisdom descendeth not from above but is earthly, sensual, devilish. —
- James 3:16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. —
