What does the Bible say about 7 deadly sins?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible teaches that sinful desires such as pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth arise from the fallen human heart and stand under God’s righteous judgment, yet Christ calls sinners to repentance and new life. Proverbs 6:16-19 names attitudes and acts the Lord hates, especially proud eyes, deceit, violence, and discord. 1 John 2:16-17 warns against the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and pride in possessions, all of which pass away. Proverbs 16:18 exposes pride’s ruinous end, while Exodus 20:17 forbids coveting. Jesus condemns lustful heart sin in Matthew 5:28. By the Spirit, believers are called to put away malice and grow in love, faith, and hope.
