Obviously they are not called deadly for nothing.
According to The Bible... "...SIN IS the TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW." (I John 3:4)Paul tells us that law is the Ten Commandments."What shall we say then? Is the law sin? GOD FORBID. Nay, I had not known sin, but BY the law: for I had not known LUST, except the law had said, THOU SHALT NOT COVET." (Rom.7:7)The law that says "thou shalt not covet" is the "tenth commandment." These laws "define" sin... according to the Bible. The punishment [or the wages we earn] for the breaking of these laws is "death." That makes them "deadly."Therefore, the "deadly sins" listed in the Bible are found in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5... but, they are "Ten"... not seven.Roman Catholic AnswerThe Seven Deadly Sins: PrideGreedLustAngerGluttonyEnvySlothare a catechical formulation which, as such, are not found in the Bible.

The Seven Deadly Sins in Tagalog are translated as "Ang Pitong Kasalanan ng Makamundo." In Tagalog, "Ang" means "the," "Pitong" means "seven," "Kasalanan" means "sins," and "ng Makamundo" means "of the world." Therefore, the complete translation is "The Seven Sins of the World" in English.
The phrase "Be sure your sins will find you out" can be found in the Bible in Numbers 32:23.
Jeremiah 31:34
Nothing that I know of. The Bible is not about compensation, but rather about undeserved mercy and forgiveness for our sins through out Lord Jesus Christ.
Wait to have sex until you are married and repent for previous sins.
There are no such "seven deadly sins" mentioned in the bible (as in the translations such as the NIV, King James, Good News, etc.) - I hear it's a Roman Catholic teaching but can't vouch for that.If that makes you feel better, you won't like what the bible does say about sin: that the wages of sin are death - and that doesn't matter whether the sin is mass murder or stealing Mars bars, or that only sins as an adult count - you're either guilty or your're not. Furthermore, the bible says that all mankind has sinned and fallen short of the standard of God; our selfish natures can't help but sin, against each other, against ourselves, against God, so ultimately we're all doomed to death of the soul.If that's the case, they why are Christians, who understand this better than most, so full of praise to God for what seems to us an impossible situation? I won't spoil it for you by doing the answer injustice in a few sentances, I just suggest you go ask a few how they can acknowledge their own sinfulness in the light of God's holiness yet be so happy. Good news indeed!
The Bible does not explicitly say that no sin is greater than another. However, it does teach that all sins separate us from God and that the consequences of sin are serious.
The Bible teaches that one can go to heaven by believing in Jesus Christ as their savior, repenting of their sins, and following his teachings. This is based on the belief that Jesus died for our sins and through faith in him, we can have eternal life in heaven.
In the Bible, the angel Gabriel told Joseph that Mary would give birth to a son named Jesus, who would save people from their sins.
