I making a cleric domain for sin, and i want to have 7 different lists of domain spells to represent each of the seven deadly sins (much like how land druid works) that the player can choose from.
Anyone got any recommendations for spells of 1st through 5th level that fall into the themes of: envy, gluttony, greed, lust, pride, sloth, and wrath?
Leaving this so I can come back to the thread after work.

"Where words fail, swords prevail. Where blood is spilled, my cup is filled" -Cartaphilus
"I have found the answer to the meaning of life. You ask me what the answer is? You already know what the answer to life is. You fear it more than the strike of a viper, the ravages of disease, the ire of a lover. The answer is always death. But death is a gentle mistress with a sweet embrace, and you owe her a debt of restitution. Life is not a gift, it is a loan."
I would be tempted to alter some existing spells a bit to fit some of these.
I think Tasha's Hideous Laughter could be good for this. Maybe it produces a bunch of food that the target can't help but eat until it saves. Or makes an illusory pile of gold on the ground that the target has to kneel down and try to scoop up.
Wrath lines up pretty well with Evocation in general, and it doesn't take much to reflavor most Enchantment to Lust, but some of these are tough.
Sloth: Slow, Feign Death? Meld into Stone?
Greed: Locate Object, Incite Greed (duh)
Envy: Life Transference? Scrying?
Gluttony: Purify Food and Drink, Insect Plague?
Pride: Command? Divination seems prideful to me in general but maybe that's just me.
Or are you going for spells that fight these sins? Like Calm Emotions to fight wrath?

Disguise Self: You want another being's appearance and create the image of one.
Alter Self: You want another being's appearance and, for a short time, are that being.
Blindness/Deafness: Taking away someone's senses because they're better than you.
Bestow Curse: How dare someone be better than you. For added flavour, limit it to choosing an ability score and causing the target to take disadvantage on that ability's saving throws and checks.
Sloth:
Gentle Repose: Causes microbes to chill out and slow down decay.
