Best Answer

Sins are every act which God does not approve of, first of all.

Sins are always unhealthy, and lead to destruction. Sins cause harm to the doer and sometimes to others, as well. Sins are usually addictive. That means that if you commit a sin, you are likely to do it again and again.

Virtues are the opposite.

virtues are all things that God approves of. virtues are good, and healthy, and they lead to positive things for both the doer and others as well. However virtues are also addictive. If you do a good deed, you are more likely to want to do it again.
