Difference between jealousy and envy

what is bible explaination of jealousy and envy
  

Top answer

The most obvious difference of the two is that jealousy is generally focused toward an individual and specifically toward an individual that may be considered a rival. Envy instead focuses more on the object than the person that possesses it, though the envy may be based or accompanied by the assessment that the individual deserves what they envy. That's only a general difference.
