I need help with.....ok, 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

It says love is patient,....also love is not jealous.

Now my question is, what kind of jealousy is portrayed here? Is it normal jealousy? Is it saying that if a husband sees his wife with another man, he should not get jealous???

I really need help here, hopefully you will help me.

THank you :)

God bless


It means that if you're a prick who's jealous and envious all of the time, you'll burn in hell.

love is not jealous. If a husband sees his wife with another man the correct response is not jealousy, it is sadness, grieving etc. He is not supposed to be jealous of that man; Jealousy is never the correct response
1 corinthians 3:3 says
You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans?
We are called to be above jealousy.

So it is NOT right to feel jealous for the husband? Instead he should feel sad and grief?

right. as shown by the verse i posted, the worldy response would be jealousy. As christians we are called to be above that and to not feel jealousy. There is another reaction that would be (maybe? i havnt experienced it) grieving and sadness

I would also agree with this. I think jealousy extends beyond husband and wife. A person should not be in "want" of another's possession. Othewords you should not be jealous of another persons house, car, job or whatever.

So is it jealousy as in him having better cars/houses more popular etc

OR

The kind of jealousy I mentioned; husband being jealous because his wife is with another man?

Jealousy carries a sense of entitlement. Is a man entitled to all of his wife's time and attention. No, of course not. Is a person entitled to tell his wife that she can't talk with with another man? Again, no. that'd be ridiculous. That's why jealousy is wrong.

Thank you , but this is much more than talking for example...maybe she is being so close and friendly with another man.

Well....I guess jealousy should never be an option....Thanks guys

Great. The correct response like he said would be sadness etc. The scripture says it all, you are in the flesh so you WILL feel jealousy, it is in a nature, we are in the flesh, there is nothing you could do about it. You have to keep in control though for you need to watch out for what it could cause you to do. Extreme jealousy will cause you to do extreme things in response. keeping God in mind would help while feeling in such way. pray about to God to help you through it, and you shall turn out victorious!
