'Envious' in the Bible

I am allowed to do what I want with my own money, am I not? Or are you envious because I'm generous?'

You lust and do not have; so you commit murder. You are envious and cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask.

Or do you think the scripture means nothing when it says, "The spirit that God caused to live within us has an envious yearning"?
