Sin is a biblical concept. And according to the bible, there are seven deadly sins i.e. envy, greed, pride, lust, gluttony, sloth and wrath. Jealousy in love context is only a narrow definition of the word which does not exactly mean envy but in a more general context can be assumed to be equivalent to envy. However, different cultures and religions have different perceptions on jealousy as a sin. Buddhism has no concept of sin, only meritorious and non-meritorious deeds which will affect your Karma. But if you believe that all humans are descendants of Adam and Eve, then jealousy is definitely a sin.
