[[G5355]] /phthónos ("ill-will") conveys "displeasure at another's good; . . . without longing to raise oneself to the level of him whom he envies, but only to depress the envied to his own level" (R. Trench, 90). --- ## Blue Letter Bible - Outline - --- ## Blue Letter Bible - Strong's Definition - --- ## Blue Letter Bible - Vines - --- ## Transliteration Details - --- ## Date - Initial - 2023.10.07 - Revised - ---
