I would say the opposite of the greed is the justice for all (charitable donations do not balance for grabbing the control over the people)

and the envy (which according to St John the Cross is the worst vice of the religious man and women) is balanced against by the humility.
 
From HERE:

The Contrary Virtues were derived from the Psychomachia (“Battle for the Soul”), an epic poem written by Prudentius (c. 410). Practicing these virtues is alleged to protect one against temptation toward the Seven Deadly Sins:
Humility against pride,
Kindness against envy,
Abstinence against gluttony,
Chastity against lust, patience against anger,
Liberality against greed, and
Diligence against sloth.

Peace
