Jealousy, Envy
Genesis 30:1-5
• When Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any
children, she became jealous of her sister. So she said
to Jacob, "Give me children, or I'll die!"
• (2) Jacob became angry with her and said, "Am I in the
place of God, who has kept you from having children?"
• (3) Then she said, "Here is Bilhah, my maidservant.
Sleep with her so that she can bear children for me and
that through her I too can build a family."
• (4) So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife. Jacob
slept with her,
• (5) and she became pregnant and bore him a son.
QUESTION
• Q: What are some things we do when we are
jealous?
Genesis 37:5-20
• Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his
brothers, they hated him all the more.
• (6) He said to them, "Listen to this dream I had:
• (7) We were binding sheaves of grain out in the
field when suddenly my sheaf rose and stood
upright, while your sheaves gathered around
mine and bowed down to it."
• (8) His brothers said to him, "Do you intend to
reign over us? Will you actually rule us?" And
they hated him all the more because of his
dream and what he had said.
Genesis 37:5-20
• (9) Then he had another dream, and he told it to his
brothers. "Listen," he said, "I had another dream, and
this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were
bowing down to me."
• (10) When he told his father as well as his brothers, his
father rebuked him and said, "What is this dream you
had? Will your mother and I and your brothers actually
come and bow down to the ground before you?"
• (11) His brothers were jealous of him, but his father
kept the matter in mind.
• (12) Now his brothers had gone to graze their father's
flocks near Shechem,
Genesis 37:5-20
• (13) and Israel said to Joseph, "As you know,
your brothers are grazing the flocks near
Shechem. Come, I am going to send you to
them." "Very well," he replied.
• (14) So he said to him, "Go and see if all is
well with your brothers and with the flocks,
and bring word back to me." Then he sent
him off from the Valley of Hebron. When
Joseph arrived at Shechem,
Genesis 37:5-20
• (15) a man found him wandering around in the
fields and asked him, "What are you looking for?"
• (16) He replied, "I'm looking for my brothers. Can
you tell me where they are grazing their flocks?"
• (17) "They have moved on from here," the man
answered. "I heard them say, 'Let's go to
Dothan.'" So Joseph went after his brothers and
found them near Dothan.
Genesis 37:5-20
• (18) But they saw him in the distance, and
before he reached them, they plotted to kill
him.
• (19) "Here comes that dreamer!" they said
to each other.
• (20) "Come now, let's kill him and throw him
into one of these cisterns and say that a
ferocious animal devoured him. Then we'll
see what comes of his dreams."

lord, stop them!"
• (29) But Moses replied, "Are you jealous for my
sake? I wish that all the LORD's people were
prophets and that the LORD would put his Spirit
on them!"
• (30) Then Moses and the elders of Israel
returned to the camp.

• Be careful not to forget the covenant of the LORD your God
that he made with you; do not make for yourselves an idol
in the form of anything the LORD your God has forbidden.

God.
• (25) After you have had children and grandchildren and
have lived in the land a long time—if you then become
corrupt and make any kind of idol, doing evil in the eyes of
the LORD your God and provoking him to anger,
• (26) I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you this
day that you will quickly perish from the land that you are
crossing the Jordan to possess. You will not live there long
but will certainly be destroyed.
Deuteronomy 5:9-10

generations of those who love me and keep
my commandments.

will turn and bring disaster on you and make an end of
you, after he has been good to you."

the LORD."
• (22) Then Joshua said, "You are witnesses against

QUESTION
• Q: People spend a lot of time being jealous,
envious. What do they gain in the end?
Ecclesiastes 4:4
• 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.

on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its
jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like
blazing fire, like a mighty flame.

LORD takes vengeance and is filled with wrath.
The LORD takes vengeance on his foes and

power; the LORD will not leave the guilty
unpunished. His way is in the whirlwind and
the storm, and clouds are the dust of his feet.
Mark 7:17-23
• After he had left the crowd and entered the
house, his disciples asked him about this
parable.
• (18) "Are you so dull?" he asked. "Don't you
see that nothing that enters a man from the
outside can make him 'unclean'?
• (19) For it doesn't go into his heart but into
his stomach, and then out of his body." (In
saying this, Jesus declared all foods "clean.")
Mark 7:17-23
• (20) He went on: "What comes out of a man
is what makes him 'unclean.'
• (21) For from within, out of men's hearts,
come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft,
murder, adultery,
• (22) greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy,
slander, arrogance and folly.
• (23) All these evils come from inside and
make a man "unclean.'"

• The night is nearly over; the day is almost here.
So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put
on the armor of light.
• (13) Let us behave decently, as in the daytime,
not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual
immorality and debauchery, not in dissension
and jealousy.
• (14) Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus
Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the
desires of the sinful nature.
1 Corinthians 3:3-6
• You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and
quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you
not acting like mere men?
• (4) For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I
follow Apollos," are you not mere men?
• (5) What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only
servants, through whom you came to believe—as the
Lord has assigned to each his task.
• (6) I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God
made it grow.
1 Corinthians 10:21-24
• You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup
of demons too; you cannot have a part in both
the Lord's table and the table of demons.
• (22) Are we trying to arouse the Lord's
jealousy? Are we stronger than he?
• (23) "Everything is permissible"—but not
everything is beneficial. "Everything is
permissible"—but not everything is constructive.

good of others.

• The acts of the sinful nature are obvious:
sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
• (20) idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord,
jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition,
dissensions, factions
• (21) and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the
like. I warn you, as I did before, that those
who live like this will not inherit the kingdom
of God.
Galatians 5:19-23
• (22) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness,

things there is no law.
Galatians 5:25-26
• Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step
with the Spirit.
• (26) Let us not become conceited, provoking
and envying each other.
James 3:14-16
• But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish
ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it
or deny the truth.
• (15) Such "wisdom" does not come down
from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the
devil.
• (16) For where you have envy and selfish
ambition, there you find disorder and every
evil practice.
1 Peter 2:1-3
• Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all
deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every
kind.
• (2) Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual
milk, so that by it you may grow up in your
salvation,
• (3) now that you have tasted that the Lord is
good.
