7 1If a man prospereth more than you, do not be vexed, but pray also for him, that he may have perfect prosperity for so it is expedient for you. 2And if he be further exalted, be not envious of him, remembering that all flesh shall die; and offer praise to God, who giveth things good and profitable to all men. 3Seek out the judgments of the Lord, and thy mind will rest and be at peace. 4And though a man become rich by evil means, even as Esau, the brother of my father, be not jealous; but wait for the end of the Lord. 5For if he taketh away from a man wealth gotten by evil means He forgiveth him if he repent, but the unrepentant is reserved for eternal punishment. 6For the poor man, if free from envy he pleaseth the Lord in all things, is blessed beyond all men, because he hath not the travail of vain men. 7Put away, therefore, jealousy from your souls, and love one another with uprightness of heart.
