No tenemos nada para envidiar en el mundo

Is this a correct translation of we have nothing to envy in the world?

No tenemos nada que envidiar al mundo.

If we don´t envy anything that the world has.

No tenemos nada que envidiar en el mundo.

If while living in this world we see nothing to envy.

Also I would say "No hay nada que enviar ......" because we don´t have what we envy.

Good question, I like the first part (although I'd swap para for que) but am wondering if it would be 'al mundo' instead of 'en el ..'.

No tenemos nada que envidiar al mundo.

But I'm not a native speaker so I'd wait for some more comments.

@Kiwi-Girl I like your translation. I believe it is spot on.
