Seven Deadly Sins
Pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, sloth — the seven roots from which other sins grow
The Seven Deadly Sins are a catalogue of principal vices, traditionally pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth, regarded as roots from which other sins spring. The scheme grew from the desert monk Evagrius Ponticus, who listed eight tempting "thoughts," and was reshaped by Gregory the Great into the familiar sevenfold list. It became a lasting tool for examining conscience and teaching the spiritual life in the West.
