The 7 deadly sins are:

Lust, Greed, Gluttony, Envy, Anger, Pride and Sloth.

The Contrary Virtues, which are the opposite of the seven deadly sins, are as follows:

Chastity - It overcomes the sin of lust.

Generosity - It overcomes the sin of Greed.

Temperance - It overcomes the sin of Gluttony.

Kindness - It overcomes the sin of Envy.

Meekness - It overcomes the sin of Anger.

Humility - It overcomes the sin of Pride.

Persistence - It overcomes the sin of sloth.
