The seven deadly sins are a group of major vices—pride, envy, wrath, gluttony, lust, sloth, and greed—that developed in early Christian theology as fundamental moral failings, even though they are not explicitly listed together in the Bible itself. They matter within Christian tradition because they represent the spiritual roots of sinful behavior and have shaped how believers understand moral wrongdoing and spiritual life for centuries.
