Envy is described as a feeling of discontent, resentment, and begrudging, often triggered by someone else's possessions or qualities. It involves desiring the resources and opportunities that someone else has, in order to create a desired life. A Christian minister, William F. Holland Jr., discusses this topic, citing James chapter 3, verses 14-16, which frames envy as a serious spiritual problem.

The minister's discussion of envy is available in an article. Further details on the minister's thoughts can be found in the original piece.
