7. Sloth

1. PRIDE:

This is the unwillingness to look at one's faults honestly, or of esteeming ourselves greatly based on an excessive consciousness of abilities or worth. This is vanity, and is often euphemistically called, 'self respect.'

Proverbs 16:18

"Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall."

This is the root cause of many other sins. The Godly virtue which this transgression wars against is Christian humility and a contrite spirit (Matthew. 5:5, Proverbs 16:19), where man has a spiritual aversion to being subject to God or His laws. It is a hindrance to the Christian's recognition of the Sovereignty and Grace of God. To combat this sin, we should strive to see ourselves as the sinners that we really are, and not to compare ourselves to others, that we might appear to ourselves better or more righteous.

2. AVARICE:

This is simply Greed. This sin is the inordinate love of possessions and desire for either material wealth, or to gain more than one needs.

Proverbs 15:27

"He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live."

The Godly virtue which this sin wars against is Christian charity (Matthew 10:21, Acts 20:35), and usually ignores the spiritual in favor of the temporal. To combat this sin we should seek to understand that generosity means sacrifice, and letting others to receive credit or praise. To give wanting nothing in return, is the true charity which combats greed.

3. ENVY:

This sin is that of jealousy or perverted love because it is the love and desire to own what belongs to someone else (exodus 20:17). This transgression is the discontentment over another's superiority over us in possessions or some good fortune. Envy is the resentment of the good others will or have received.

Proverbs 23:17

"Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long."

The Godly virtue which this sin wars against is Christian contentment (Hebrews 13:5, Philippians 4:11) and true loving of our neighbor as ourselves. We combat this sin by being noble and honestly joy over our neighbor's good fortune, as if it were our own. That is loving our neighbor as ourselves (James 2:8) and being meek in spirit.

4. WRATH:

This is the transgression of anger or strong exasperation in rage at something or someone. It is often the result of our impatience or of having our pride hurt.

Colossians 3:8

"But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth."

The Godly virtue which this sin wars against is Christian Love and patience (Hosea 14:4, Luke 6:36) in dealing with the faults of others. We combat this sin by reigning in the passion of the flesh, not neglecting charity and love, and being patient where we show kindness and compassion to others, forgiving their transgressions seven times seventy.

5. LUST:

This is the sin of having an inordinate and intense longing or appetite for something such as money, or sexual cravings. It is often manifested in a self-destructive drive for some pleasure regardless of it's value, merit, or legality.

Matthew 5:28

"But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart."

1st John 2:16

"For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world."

The Godly virtue which this sin wars against is Christian self control. The Spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak (Galatians 6:7-8, 1st Corinthians 9:27), and so to combat this sin we should seek to remove from our realm or sight all temptations or snares which we might fall into because of our weakness.

6. GLUTTONY:

This sin manifested in someone who indulges himself/herself excessively in eating or drinking.

Proverbs 23:21

Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:
For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags."

The Godly virtue which this sin wars against is Christian moderation (Philippians 4:5) and sound judgment. We can combat the sin of gluttony by temperance in accepting the natural limits of pleasures and by praying for strength to reduce our desire to eat. We should learn to quit eating before we are feeling stuffed or full.

7. SLOTH:

This sin is the inclination to being lazy or to abhor the work ethic. Man is to provide for himself and his household, and being idle is a contradiction to this command of God.

Proverbs 19:15

"Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger."

Ecclesiastes 10:18

"By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through."

The Godly virtue which this sin wars against is Christian zeal and Work (1st Corinthians 15:58, 2nd Timothy 4:5) ethic. We can combat this sin by repentance and in praying to God for an ardent and energetic interest or desire to respond to God's commands against our disdain for physical exertion.

The seven deadly sins that are commited by every human being on Earth.... some have more than others some have less

But because of these things.... relationships can be broken, lost or found and treasured. The only way to overcome these sins is to combat them like the sentences in blue.

But can humans do them... the answer is very unlikely because of theses deadly sins that are engraved in our mind and our fear of having the determination to overcome these.

To me pride, greed and envy are the most deadliest because it can shape humans into a different person.... a person that is unrecognizable that can deteriorate relationships of any kinds... because of these three main traits that humans are affected into a way that can only be explained through experience. An experience that involves obstacles, hardships and suffering
