Of course the Seven Deadly Sins are Christian in origin. Going by a rough version of 10 commandments with least redundancies, where you can combine either the first two or last two commandments to make ten:

I am the Lord thy God

Thou shalt have no other gods/idols before me

Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy

Honour thy father and thy mother

Thou shalt not kill 

Thou shalt not commit adultery

Thou shalt not steal

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s possessions

(Of note, there is no version of the 10 commandments where there are three separate sins for coveting. Three different types of coveting are mentioned across all versions, but it never takes up more than 2 commandments, and in a majority of non-Catholic versions it’s just 1. So I don’t know what you were going by- you might have just read the chart incorrectly?)

If combining the first two, I’d go with: 1 Piety 2 Reticence 3 Repose 4 Love 5 Pacifism 6 Faith 7 Selflessness 8 Truth 9 Purity 10 Patience

If combining the last two: 1 Piety 2 Faith 3 Reticence 4 Repose 5 Love 6 Pacifism 7 Purity 8 Selflessness 9 Truth 10 Patience

And if you consolidate the first two AND the last two to get 9 commandments:

1 Piety 2 Reticence 3 Repose 4 Faith 5 Pacifism 6 Purity 7 Selflessness 8 Truth 9 Patience

Then you can include Jesus’ Great Commandment(s) “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself”- which I would argue still counts, since Seven Deadly Sins are Christian in origin. It’s well established there are redundancies between versions of the original 10 commandments that can and have been consolidated, so making them into 9 and including this to round out the 10 I feel isn’t beyond consideration.
