PRIDE---- is excessive belief in one's own abilities, that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is also known as Vanity.
ENVY---- is the desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation.
GLUTTONY---- is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires.
LUST---- is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body.
ANGER---- is manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury. It is also known as Wrath.
