Sloth is one of the seven capital sins in Catholic teachings. It is the most difficult sin to define and credit as sin, since it refers to an assortment of ideas, dating from antiquity and including mental, spiritual, pathological, and physical states.
...
In his Summa Theologica, Saint Thomas Aquinas defined sloth as "sorrow about spiritual good" and as "facetiousness of the mind which neglects to being good... [it] is evil in its effect, if it so oppresses men as to draw him away entirely from good deeds."According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, "acedia or sloth goes so far to refuse joy from God and is repelled by goodness.

Уны́ние (др.-греч. ἀκηδία — беззаботность, беспечность, др.-греч. περιεργία — (1) ненужный труд, излишние хлопоты, суетливость, (2) любопытство; лат. acedia) — состояние апатии и подавленности, настроение, при котором человек не заинтересован своим положением и происходящим вокруг, может быть не в состоянии исполнять свои жизненные обязанности, безнадёжная печаль, гнетущая скука[2] и тоска. Сопровождается общим упадком сил. Сильное уныние характерно для депрессии, однако не равноценно ей.

В христианстве уныние — один из восьми главных грехов, впоследствии в римо-католической традиции один из семи смертных грехов.

Acedia comes from Greek, and means “a lack of care.” It sounds a little like today's sloth, and acedia is indeed considered a precursor to today's sin of laziness.

Акедия переводится как уныние – грех из числа восьми основных грехов, идет после греха «печаль». Греческийй термин акедия (Ἀκηδία) состоит из «а» – не и «kedon» – труд, старание [1]. Буквально – не-старание, не-труждение, нерадение, беспечность.
https://bogoslov.ru/article/3634221

Слово akedia, которое в древнегреческом языке значило «небрежность, беззаботность», стало богословским понятием после того, как авва Евагрий Понтийский (345–399) при построении классификации восьми смертных страстей стал использовать его для названия шестой страсти – уныния: «Есть восемь основных помыслов, которыми объемлются все [другие] помыслы. Первый помысел – чревоугодия, а за ним [следует] помысел блуда, третий – сребролюбия, четвертый – печали, пятый – гнева, шестой – уныния, седьмой – тщеславия, а восьмой – гордыни» (Слове о духовном делании. 6).

ACEDIA
Acedia, more commonly called sloth through confusion with its most notable effect, is a disgust with the spiritual because of the physical effort involved. If the spiritual good from which acedia recoils has a necessary connection with the divine good, which should be the subject of Christian joy, it can be a sin, and even serious. Moreover, acedia is one of the capital sins, a common distraction from virtue, producing other, even quite distinct, sins.

The word describing this constant human phenomenon is found not only in the Septuagint Bible (e.g., Sir 6.26) but in Greek and Latin pagan authors; etymologists show that the word should not be derived from Latin acidus but from the Greek α-κήδος (not caring). Whatever its possibly Stoic origins may be, the psychology of the temptation received most careful attention from the desert fathers of the fourth century, who discussed it in the context of other evil thoughts as the daemon meridianus (Ps 90.6). Evagrius Ponticus in 383 seems to be the first to have written a description of acedia in his De octo vitiosis cogitationibus (Patrologia Graeca, ed. J. P. Migne, 40:1274), obviously drawing more from actual experience than literary antecedents.

agree  Boris Shapiro: Действительно, в западных текстах acedia и sloth (видимо, по причине трудности перевода первого, латинского термина) идут как синонимы.

agree  Denis Fesik: Да, латынь в таком контексте ("бытовая" эзотерика) будет бесполезна; а однако я давно замечал, как неумело английский язык обращается с религией, иногда и к греческим корням приходится обращаться, чтобы какое-то понятие выразить

losing heart/giving up on yourself is a sin


Explanation:
It's esotericism, so Biblical references, God forbid, seems to be out of context. Plain language feels like cutting it.
