According to Christian tradition the seven deadly sins are: envy, gluttony, greed, lust, pride, sloth, and wrath. “They’re called ‘mortal’ or ‘deadly’ because they lead to the death of the soul,” says Richard G. Newhauser, an English professor at Arizona State University.

1. Lust is a strong passion or longing, especially for sexual desires. Chastity or self-control cures lust by controlling passion and leveraging that energy for the good of others.

2. Gluttony is an excessive and ongoing eating of food or drink. Temperance cures gluttony by implanting the desire to be healthy, therefore making one fit to serve others.

3. Greed is an excessive pursuit of material goods. Charity cures greed by putting the desire to help others above storing up treasure for one’s self.

4. Sloth is an excessive laziness or the failure to act and utilize one’s talents. Diligence or zeal cures slothfulness by placing the interest of others above a life of ease and relaxation.

5. Wrath is a strong anger and hate towards another person. Patience cures wrath by one first understanding the needs and desires of others before acting or speaking.

6. Envy is the intense desire to have an item that someone else possesses. Kindness cures envy by placing the desire to help others above the need to supersede them.

7. Pride is an excessive view of one's self without regard for others. Humility cures pride by removing one's ego and boastfulness, therefore allowing the attitude of service.
