Where did the seven deadly sins come from?

Dante arranged the seven deadly sins in The Divine Comedy according to the severity of evil deeds, in the following order:

1) lewdness-illegal sexual desire, such as adultery. (Dante's standard is' excessive love for each other', which will belittle God's love for people)

2) Overeating-wasting food, or overeating, drinking too much or hoarding too much food. (Dante's view is' excessive greed for happiness')

3) Greedy-Greedy to have more than you need. (Or, in Dante's view, greed is "excessively keen to seek advantages in money or power")

Laziness-laziness and wasting time. Laziness is condemned because others need to work harder to fill the gap, because what they should do is harmful to themselves.

Equilibrium: One party pays more than the other. (From Dante's theological point of view, laziness is' unable to love God wholeheartedly', specifically, it includes laziness, cowardice, lack of imagination, satisfaction and irresponsibility)

5) Anger-inappropriate (evil) feelings caused by hatred, revenge or denial of others, and the desire to punish others beyond the power given by law also belong to anger. (Dante described it as "the love of justice was subverted into revenge and spurning")

6) jealousy-resentment because the other party has more assets than himself. (Dante said, "Love for one's own interests degenerates into a desire to deprive others of their interests")

7) Pride-expecting others to see you, or liking you too much. I feel superior to others because I have it. Lift myself out of the position of the propeller and face God or my companion. Dante's definition is "love for self distorts into hatred and contempt for neighbors")
