Envy in a Christian
Mark 15:10
For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.


"Who is this elder son?" was once asked in an assembly of ministers at Elberfeldt. Daniel Krummacher made answer: "I know him very well; I met him yesterday." "Who is he?" they asked eagerly; and he replied solemnly, "Myself." He then explained that on the previous day, hearing that a very ill-conditioned person had received a very gracious visitation of God's goodness, he had felt not a little envy and irritation.
