Best Answer

The early Church created lists of "seven deadly sins" at different times and in different circumstances. For example, Tertullian says the seven deadly sins are: idolatry, blasphemy, murder, adultery, fornication, false-witness, and fraud.

When hermit monks began to live alone in the desert in the belief that in isolation they could not sin, they began to suffer temptations unique to their circumstances, which created a new list of seven deadly sins - one of which was envy.
