...Strife, Jealousy, Fits of Anger...

It's quite common for people to say, "Oh, I am jealous" when someone they come in contact with has an experience they wish they could have. Unfortunately it seems Christians make this statement as much as non-Christians.

In Galatians Paul gives a list of works of the flesh. Embedded in the list is jealousy.

Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Galatians 5:19-21

Even if a true Christian acts in one of these ways, he or she rarely boasts about it and is penitent, which is the correct response. Why then does jealousy seem to get unrepentantly ignored as a part of a list that is evidence of fleshiness?
