Most of those are either silly, outdated or abstract just as the Seven Sins, but I think that Humility, Gratitude, and Patience are great qualities

Those may be abstract, might be silly but they are still considered as good/bad things to follow/unfollow in one form or another. So, they are not outdated, but could do with some vocabulary improvements.

From my point of view, "chastity" is outdated.

I respect that opinion considering the whole hullabaloo about the subject. I consider the intention of the act when purity or chastity is referred. The chastity as virtue was defined AD 490 and the current definition of the word came in 13th century. So I think it is relevant but it may be not aptly defined everywhere.

1 Thessalonians 4:3

For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality;

Matthew 5:28

But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

1 Corinthians 7:1-40

Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. ...

For me, that is outdated.

I am not an expert in literature, but from what I understand 1st and 2nd is fine as I think it is all about the intent and being moral.

For the 3rd I read few things from the link and it is under "Principles of Marriage". So I think that is fine and it says if someone is not faithful in the marriage, they are free to go, but be faithful if they are bound to someone.

Again I am not saying everyone should think like that. I am just saying what I understand and think.

Hi brijesh, may I suggest just two small edits to the intro? (below in bold)

The seven heavenly virtues are defined as a habitual and firm disposition to do good. The recognized seven virtues are humility, charity, chastity, gratitude, temperance, patience, and diligence, which correspond inversely to each of the seven deadly sins.
