Bible
"...There is such a thing as deadly sin, ... All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that is not deadly." 1 John 5:16-17 NAB
The seven deadly (sometimes called "capital") sins are traditionally counted as:
1. Pride
But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." ...
As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil.
(James 4:6, 16 NIV)
Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." (1 Peter 5:5 NIV)
Mt 27:18; Phil 1:15
It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. (Philippians 1:5 NIV)
See that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his inheritance rights as the oldest son. (Hebrews 12:16 NIV)
"In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold... Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.
(Ephesians 4:26-27, 31 NIV)
My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,
for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires. (James 1:19-20 NIV)
The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions
and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5:19-21 NIV)
Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.
They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips,
slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents;
they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless.
Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
(Romans 1:28-32 NIV)
But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people.
Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.
For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person--such a man is an idolater--has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. (Ephesians 5:3-5 NIV)
Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.
Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.
You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.
But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. (Colossians 3:5-8 NIV)
Luke 18:9-14; James 4:6, 16; 1 Peter 5:5
"...For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." (Luke 18:14 NIV)
But by the envy of the devil, death entered the world, and they who are in his possession experience it." (Wisdom 2:24 NAB)
For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him. (Mt. 27:18 NIV)
"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak." Mt 26:41
But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Mt 5:28
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Mt 6:19-21
Proverbs 21:17; Hebrews 12:16
He who loves pleasure will become poor; whoever loves wine and oil will never be rich.
(Proverbs 21:17 NIV)
Mt 5:22; Eph 4:26-27, 31; James 1:19-20
But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, `Raca,' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, `You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell. (Matthew 5:22 NIV)
