Is it true that the Seven Deadly Sins are listed in the Bible?

No. One peer-reviewed article on the seven deadly sins in Christianity states that these sins do not appear in the Bible as a list, which directly contradicts the claim. The remaining retrieved items either discuss the sins metaphorically or never address whether the Bible lists them.
