None, really.

According to tradition, they are greed, anger, sloth, lust, gluttony, pride, and envy. Their opposites would be generosity, temperance, industriousness, celebacy, anorexia, insecurity, and apathy.

If the sins are bad, then surely the opposites would be good. However, even extreme generousity can be a bad thing. Never getting angry is just as bad as always being angry. Workaholics are as bad as lazy people. And so on with the other "sins" and their opposites.

Sin, itself, is an outdated concept. Any fixed list of rules really doesn't adequately apply to all situations. Instead, we should just look at how we fit into society and what it takes to lead a decent life. Figure out what is of value to you and what is detrimental to you. Much of that value comes from instinct, but it also comes from how you were brought up and what experiences we have in life. Ultimately, how you live your life is up to you. How you treat others generally determines how they treat you, so that is usually of high importance. There are no fixed rules, though. We make laws only as a shortcut so we can live relatively comfortably among each other.

What the others used for quotes from scripture, is just that, the Words of someone besides Jesus, even through Jesus told you the truth concerning deadly sins He also told you the sin that could never be forgiven, but you will not believe in His Words, or believe only when it suits your need.

Jesus said in Mark 7:18-23 and in Matthew 15:3-20
1. evil thought
2. adulteries
3. fornication's
4. murders
5. thefts
6. covetousness
7. wickedness
8. deceit
9. lasciviousness
10. an evil eye
11. blasphemy
12. pride
13. foolishness
14. false witness
All these things come from the heart and defile a man.
Please read Matthew 15:7-9 This is what those in the physical churches are doing.They give God lip service.

Sin is sin, the only deadly one is blasphemy of the Spirit as it's unforgiveable.
