The [[Bible]] does not list them in this form, but they are commonly found in Medieval and [[Renaissance]] thought. Personifications or depictions of the seven sins (and their punishments in [[Hell]]) are also common in the art and literature of these periods, sometimes contrasted with the seven cardinal [[virtue]]s.
