Asked by jezzle2323

Answer (1)

The question is asking which among the options is not considered one of the Seven Deadly Sins. The Seven Deadly Sins, also known as the Capital Vices or Cardinal Sins, are a grouping of vices within Christian teachings meant to guide people away from moral and spiritual pitfalls. These sins are used as a way to educate and instruct followers on behaviors to avoid.
The Seven Deadly Sins include:

Pride
Greed (Covetousness)
Lust
Envy
Gluttony
Wrath
Sloth

Given the list above, let's look at the options:

(A) Covetousness - This is another name for Greed, and it is indeed one of the Seven Deadly Sins.
(B) Envy - Envy is also one of the Seven Deadly Sins.
(C) Wrath - Wrath is included in the Seven Deadly Sins as well.
(D) Murder - Murder, while a grave sin, is not listed as one of the Seven Deadly Sins directly. The concept of murder might be related to Wrath, but it is not named as one of the Seven Capital Vices.

Therefore, the answer to the question is (D) Murder , as it is not considered one of the Seven Deadly Sins by name.
