Greed and gluttony, for example (4)
I believe the answer is:
sins
'greed and gluttony for example' is the definition.
(I know this)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for sins that I've seen before include "Transgresses" , "Serious offences" , "Breaches of moral law" , "Moral lapses" , "Evils" .)
