Envy turns another person's good into a personal grievance and corrodes gratitude, justice, and relationship. Scripture presents this as a matter of both inward character and outward choices, to be understood within the setting of each cited passage.

Pause over the cited passage and notice what it commends, corrects, or warns against. Then consider where resisting envy is already visible in your habits and where growth is still needed.
Whose good fortune do I experience as a threat to my worth?
