Love Does Not Envy

December 18, 2022 • Grant Romoser-Claunch

When the Apostle Paul begins offering the Corinthians pastoral insight about what love is not, the first thing he mentions is that love does not envy. Envy is a type of judgment - it's fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil and can't lead to life. What we were made for is the fruit from the tree of life - it bears the fruit of love, which itself brings contentment: the opposite of envy.
