The Seven Deadly Sins, As Explained Through Disney Villains

Gluttony
Greed
Sloth

Pride
Envy
Wrath

The seven deadly sins. A list of characteristics that evil, unwholesome. Spritual flaws that can invoke wickedness in a person, or bring about their own downfall.

The concept finds itself rooted in the Bible. Our own faults and sins drive us towards misdeeds, and cause us to betray God again and again. Contrary to popular belief, the seven deadly sins are never specifically mentioned in the Good Book. The closest the Bible ever comes mentioning them is a passage in the book of Proverbs which describes certain human behaviors that are not good personality traits, each sharing similarities with the seven deadly sins we know today.
