The 10 commandments tell us not to be envious. What about jealousy?
is not jealousy a worse version of envy?
It's what you do with that jealousy that matters.
Sometimes a little envy I call it a positive envy is good for us to motivate us to work harder at work for example however envy that leads to hatred is the cause of sins.
It's the same with jealosy that being jealous of another man that seems too affective to your girlfriend or wife is actually normal since she is your girlfriend or your rightful wife. However if you are being jealous(envious) because someone gets something better than you justly and that leads you to hating him/her that is the source of sins.
Anyway that is just my 2 cents. Btw why you asked? Feeling a little jealous lately? Take it easy. A little positive jealosy could be useful but don't let it leads you to hatred. Turn your jealosy to inspiration. Learn the postitive values from more successful person.

All the vices you can think of are classified into seven deadly sins.
Jealousy and covetousness comes under envy.
