" The modern concept of the seven deadly sins is linked to the works of the fourth-century monk Evagrius Ponticus, who listed EIGHT evil thoughts in Greek as follows:
1 Γαστριμαργία (gastrimargia) GLUTTONY
2 Πορεία (porneia) prostitution, fornication [LUST]
3 Φιλαργυρία (philargyria) AVARICE
4 Ὑπερηφανία (hyperēphania) PRIDE – sometimes rendered as self-overestimation
5 Λύπη (lypē) sadness – in the Philokalia, this term is rendered as ENVY, sadness at another’s good fortune
6 Ὀργή (orgē) WRATH
7 Κενοδοξία (kenodoxia) BOASTING [VAINGLORY]
8 Ἀκηδία (akēdia) acedia – in the Philokalia, this term is rendered as DEJECTION
PESSIMISM
