Selfishness as you said, is in spite of others. Striving honorably for the sustenance and well-being and security of one’s family is not selfish in the bad sense, nor evil.
Jealousy is a protectiveness about one’s rightful property or relationships and not necessarily evil. God, we are told, is jealous.
Envy, as contrasted with jealousy, craves something rightfully belonging to or in relationship with another; someone else’s home, car or wife, for example.
