The Bible Explains the 7 Deadly Sins and Tells us More Deadly Sins
The idea of the 7 deadly sins originated in early Christian teachings as a way to help people avoid behaviors that were considered to be sinful or inappropriate.
The specific list of seven deadly sins can be traced back to the works of the 4th century monk, Evagrius Ponticus, who identified 8 “bad thoughts” that could lead to sinful behavior.
These were later distilled into the 7 (seven) deadly sins as we know them today.
The seven deadly sins include:
1. Pride
2. Envy
3. Wrath
4. Sloth
5. Greed
6. Gluttony
7. Lust
The idea of “sin” and morality has been a part of many religions and philosophical systems throughout human history, but the idea of the seven deadly sins specifically is believed to have Christian origins. The sins are often depicted in art, literature, and popular culture as a way to explore morality and the consequences of one’s actions. In this article, I do include information about the 7 things Yahuah hates, which is more relevant that knowing the 7 Deadly Sins.
Sure, here are the same verses but quoted from the King James Version (KJV):
1. Pride –
Proverbs 16:5:
“Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.”
2. Envy –
Proverbs 14:30:
“A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.”
3. Wrath –
Ecclesiastes 7:9:
“Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.”
4. Sloth –
Proverbs 6:6-11:
“Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.”
5. Greed –
Proverbs 28:25:
“He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.”
6. Gluttony –
Proverbs 23:19-21:
“Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way. Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh: For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.”
7. Lust –
Job 31:1:
“I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?”
The 7 deadly sins, although is a Christian philosophy, each was referenced in the bible. The bible however, does not say that they are “deadly sins”. There are many deadly sins aforetime mentioned in the bible.

7 Things Yahuah Hates
The 7 things Yahuah hates can be found in Proverbs 6. You may or may not notice that these 7 things that Yahuah hates focus on the sins committed by your key body parts. Knowing these will help focus your Eyes, Tongue, Hand, Feet & Heart toward righteous works, instead of that which Yahuah hates.
Proverbs 6:
16These six things doth Yahuah hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17A proud eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19A false witness that screamer lies, and he that sends out discord among brethren.
16 שש־הנה שנא יהוה ושבע [תועבות כ] (תועבת ק) נפשו׃
17 עינים רמות לשון שקר וידים שפכות דם־נקי׃
18 לב חרש מחשבות און רגלים ממהרות לרוץ לרעה׃
19 יפיח כזבים עד שקר ומשלח מדנים בין אחים׃ פ
