Roman Catholic Answer

Although one can find each of the seven deadly sins mentioned in the Bible, at one point or another, the Bible does not contain a list of "the seven deadly sins" as such, it is a medieval catechetical formulation. The seven deadly sins, listed above, are "mother sins" so to speak. All other sins can be put into one of these categories.
