envy (masculine singular, accusative—direct object)
| Root | φθόνος (phthonos) |
| Core Meanings | envy, jealousy, spite, ill-will, begrudging |
| Semantic Range | resentful jealousy, spiteful ill-will, begrudging another’s success or blessing, corrosive rivalry |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, φθόνος denotes a destructive inner disposition that opposes love and communal harmony. It is frequently listed among vices that fracture covenant community and reflect a heart resistant to divine generosity. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun; accusative case; masculine; singular (Gr,N,,,,,AMS). Functions as the direct object within its clause. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the core sense of φθόνος as active ill-will or resentful jealousy toward another’s good. The accusative singular masculine form (φθόνον) is reflected by indicating it functions as a direct object, maintaining the grammatical force of the Greek form. |
