Jealousy is a sin when it is a desire for something that does not belong to you. Worship, praise, honor, and adoration belong to God alone, for only He is truly worthy of it. Therefore, God is rightly jealous when worship, praise, honor, or adoration is given to idols.
Wivu ni dhambi wakati una hamu ya kitu ambacho si mali yenu. Ibada, sifa, heshima na utukufu ni mali ya Mungu peke yake, kwa sababu yeye pekee ndiye anastahili. Kwa hivyo, Mungu ana uhuru wa kuwa na wivu wakati ibada, sifa, heshima, au utukufu zinatolewa sanamu.
