What GOD
Says About:
|
"For
anger slays the foolish man, and jealousy kills the simple." "Do
not fret because of evildoers, be not envious toward wrongdoers." "A
tranquil heart is life to the body, but passion is rottenness to the
bones." "Do
not let your heart envy sinners, but live in the fear of the LORD always." "Do
not be envious of evil men, nor desire to be with them." "I
have seen that every labor and every skill which is done is the result of
rivalry between a man and his neighbor. This too is vanity and striving after
wind." "He
was saying, 'That which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man.
For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts,
fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, deeds of coveting and wickedness, as
well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness.'" "Love
is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not
arrogant." "Now
the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity,
sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger,
disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things
like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those
who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." "We
also once were foolish ourselves, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various
lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one
another." "If
you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant
and so lie against the truth. This wisdom is not that which comes down from
above, but is earthly, natural, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish
ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing." "Therefore,
putting aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all
slander." "Do
not envy a man of violence and do not choose any of his ways." "Do
not fret because of evildoers or be envious of the wicked." "He
is conceited and understands nothing; but he has a morbid interest in
controversial questions and disputes about words, out of which arise envy,
strife, abusive language, evil suspicions." |
