⁴⁵ But when the Jews saw such a great number of people, they were full of envy and said evil words against Paul's preaching.

⁹ And the brothers, moved with envy against Joseph, gave him to the Egyptians for money: but God was with him,

¹ Why are the nations so violently moved, and why are the thoughts of the people so foolish?

² The kings of the earth have taken their place, and the rulers are fixed in their purpose, against the Lord, and against the king of his selection, saying,

³ Let their chains be broken, and their cords taken from off us.

³⁰ A quiet mind is the life of the body, but envy is a disease in the bones.

⁴ Wrath is cruel, and angry feeling an overflowing stream; but who does not give way before envy?

⁴ And I saw that the cause of all the work and of everything which is done well was man's envy of his neighbour. This again is to no purpose and a desire for wind.

¹⁸ For he saw that for envy they had given him up.

⁴⁷ Then the high priests and the Pharisees had a meeting and said, What are we doing? This man is doing a number of signs.

⁴⁸ If we let him go on in this way, everybody will have belief in him and the Romans will come and take away our place and our nation.

⁴⁹ But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, You have no knowledge of anything;

¹⁰ Now there was talk among the chief priests of putting Lazarus to death;

² For wrath is the cause of death to the foolish, and he who has no wisdom comes to his end through passion.

¹² And Saul went in fear of David, because the Lord was with David and had gone away from Saul.

¹³ So Saul sent him away, and made him a captain over a thousand; and he went about his business before the people.

¹⁴ And in all his undertakings David did wisely; and the Lord was with him.

¹⁵ And when Saul saw how wisely he did, he was in fear of him.

¹⁶ But David was loved by all Israel and Judah, for he went out and came in before them.

¹ And while they were talking to the people, the priests and the captain of the Temple and the Sadducees came up to them,

² Being greatly troubled because they were teaching the people and preaching Jesus as an example of the coming back from the dead.

⁶ And Annas, the high priest, was there, and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all the relations of the high priest.

²⁶ The kings of the earth were lifted up, the rulers came together, against the Lord, and against his Christ:

⁵ But some of the Pharisees, who were of the faith, got up and said, It is necessary for these to have circumcision and to keep the law of Moses.

⁶ But when Paul saw that half of them were Sadducees and the rest Pharisees, he said in the Sanhedrin, Brothers, I am a Pharisee, and the son of Pharisees: I am here to be judged on the question of the hope of the coming back from the dead.

⁷ And when he had said this, there was an argument between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and a division in the meeting.

⁸ For the Sadducees say that there is no coming back from the dead, and no angels or spirits: but the Pharisees have belief in all these.

¹⁴ But if you have bitter envy in your heart and the desire to get the better of others, have no pride in this, talking falsely against what is true.

¹⁵ This wisdom is not from heaven, but is of the earth and the flesh and the Evil One.

¹⁶ For where envy is, and the desire to get the better of others, there is no order, but every sort of evil-doing.
