Bible verses about jealousy
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud.
1 corinthians 13:4
You want what you don’t have, so you scheme and kill to get it. You are jealous of what others have, but you can’t get it, so you fight and wage war to take it away from them. Yet you don’t have what you want because you don’t ask God for it.
james 4:2
A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body; jealousy is like cancer in the bones.
proverbs 14:30
But if you are bitterly jealous and there is selfish ambition in your heart, don’t cover up the truth with boasting and lying. For jealousy and selfishness are not God’s kind of wisdom. Such things are earthly, unspiritual, and demonic. For wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and evil of every kind.
james 3:14-15
Anger is cruel, and wrath is like a flood, but jealousy is even more dangerous.
proverbs 27:4
When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

Because we belong to the day, we must live decent lives for all to see. Don’t participate in the darkness of wild parties and drunkenness, or in sexual promiscuity and immoral living, or in quarelling and jealousy.
romans 13:13
For I am afraid that when I come I won’t like what I find, and you won’t like my response. I am afraid that I will find quarreling, jealousy, anger, selfishness, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorderly behavior.
2 corinthians 12:20
bible verses about jealousy
Some people may contradict our teaching, but these are the wholesome teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. These teaching promote a godly life. Anyone who teaches something different is arrogant and lacks understanding. Such a person has an unhealthy desire to quibble over the meaning of words. This stirs up arguments ending in jealousy, division, slander, and evil suspicions.
1 timothy 6:3-4
Then I observed that most people are motivated to success because they envy their neighbors. But this, too, is meaningless – like chasing the wind.
ecclesiastes 4:4
Don’t envy violent people or copy their ways.
proverbs 3:31
For from within, out of a person’s heart, come evil thoughts, secual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness. All these vile things come from within; they are what defile you.
mark 7:21-23
Once we, too, were foolish and disobedient. We were misled and became slaces to many lusts and pleasures. Our lives were full of evil and envy, and we hated each other.
titus 3:3
Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another.
galatians 5:26
I had to feed you with milk, not with solid food, because you weren’t ready for anything stronger. And you still aren’t ready, for you are still controlled by your sinful nature. You are jealous of one another and quarrel with each other. Doesn’t that prove you are controlled by your sinful nature? Aren’t you living like people of the world?
