Envy is that feeling or mental state in which there is pain or misery for not owning what the other has, whether in goods, superior qualities or other kinds of tangible and intangible things.
Envy is considered by Christianity as a capital sin because it generates other sins; The term "capital" does not refer to the magnitude of the sin but to the fact that it gives rise to many other sins and breaks with the love of neighbor that Jesus proclaims.
Capitals sins. ... They are called capitals because they generate other sins, other vices. They are pride, greed, envy, anger, lust, gluttony, laziness.
Psalm 37: 1-2 "Do not be impatient because of evildoers, nor be envious of those who practice iniquity. For like grass they will soon be cut off, And like the green grass they will be dried up. "
Proverbs 14:30 "The quiet heart is the life of the flesh; But envy rots the bones"
Proverbs 24: 1 "Be not envious of evil men, nor desire to be with them."Perhaps you say that sinners "are doing well", "enjoy life", "live better" than me who keep the Word of God, calm, life on earth is temporary, you keep saving your Faith that the Lord Himself will give you the crown of justice.Never feel envy for someone, and always do good without looking at who, love your neighbor as yourself!
