It speaks of a zeal or desire against any person. In other word, LOVE does not feel bad about the happiness or success of another.
LOVE delights in their welfare, their health, wealth, comforts.
LOVE rejoices when others prosper. This envy referred to by the Apostle here includes jealously also. He is hitting two birds at once. Let me give a reference again without looking at it. We are not to even consider the spirit which rises up in envy as having anything to do with the Lord.
