Little do you know.....
Jealousy is a very good thing to have. I am very jealous of my family and would protect them at the drop of a hat.
[h=3]Exodus 20:17[/h]King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]
17 [/SUP]Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's
Don't be jealous. You can be protective, but that is different than Jealousy.
[h=3]Galatians 5:19-21[/h]King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]
19 [/SUP]Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
[SUP]
20 [/SUP]Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
[SUP]
21 [/SUP]Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Envyings is a form of jealousy, some interpretations actually just put Jealousy instead of envyings. Covet, Jealous, Envy, they're extremely similar. I just put a NT quote and an OT quote for ya.
