It is a sin, but in the case of Jack, a perfectly understandable one. ;)

It is not the envy that is a sin. It is the degree of envy that creates the sin. To think that the neighbor's wife has nice hair is envious, but not a sin. To think that your neighbor's wife has nice hair that you would like to play with, stick your face and other body parts in. Now that would be a sin.

One of the 7 deadly sins.
The coveting the neighbors wife....one of the 10 Commandments.
Still a sin.
But, in todays world,don't lose any sleep over it!

Yes it is a sin. One of the seven deadly sins.
If you're wanting to be with this neighbor's wife in the biblical sense, then that would be lust...another of the seven deadly sins.

Envy is a driving force of capitalism.
We have a modern economy because we don't listen to the bible.
