 Envy was seen by the Apostle Paul as a real danger even within the first Christian communities.Envy should remain a sin of the past, defeated by God's teaching, which, as in the tenth commandment, forbids us from coveting our neighbour's things, woman, and servants, and urges us to rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep, as Apostle Paul said, and to love our neighbours as ourselves.Because brotherly, Christian love banishes definitively envy from our hearts.
