In [[Christianity]], the three [[theological virtues]] are [[Faith in Christianity|faith]], [[Hope (virtue)|hope]], and [[Agape|love]], a list which comes from {{Bibleverse|1 Corinthians|13:13}} ({{lang|grc|νυνὶ δὲ μένει πίστις}} {{transliteration|grc|pistis}} (faith), {{lang|grc|ἐλπίς}} {{transliteration|grc|elpis}} (hope), {{lang|grc|ἀγάπη}} {{transliteration|grc|agape}} (love), {{lang|grc|τὰ τρία ταῦτα· μείζων δὲ τούτων ἡ ἀγάπη}}). The same chapter describes love as the greatest of the three, and further defines love as "patient... kind... not envious, or boastful, or arrogant, or rude." (The Christian virtue of love is sometimes called [[Charity (virtue)|charity]] and at other times a Greek word {{transliteration|grc|[[agape]]}} is used to contrast the love of God and the love of humankind from other types of love such as friendship or physical affection.)

Christian scholars frequently add the four classic [[cardinal virtues]] (prudence, justice, temperance, and courage) to the theological virtues to give the [[Seven Heavenly Virtues|seven heavenly virtues]]; for example, these seven are the ones described in the ''[[Catechism of the Catholic Church]]'', sections 1803–1829. In Christian tradition courage or fortitude is a gift of the Holy Spirit. 

In {{CE|410}}, [[Prudentius|Aurelius Prudentius Clemens]] listed seven "heavenly virtues" in his book ''[[Psychomachia]]'' (''Battle of Souls'') which is an allegorical story of conflict between vices and virtues. Among the virtues were {{lang|la|fides}} (faith), {{lang|la|pudicitia}} (chastity), {{lang|la|paciencia}} (endurance), {{lang|la|mens humilis}} (humility), {{lang|la|spes}} (hope), {{lang|la|sobrietas}} (sobriety), {{lang|la|ratio}} (reason), {{lang|la|operatio}} (devotion), {{lang|la|pax}} (peace), {{lang|la|concordia}} (harmony), and {{lang|la|sapientia}} (wisdom).<ref>{{cite book|title=Allegories of the Virtues and Vices in Mediaeval Art|first=Adolf|last=Katzenellenbogen|publisher=W.W.

The medieval and renaissance periods saw a number of models of sin, listing the [[seven deadly sins]] and the [[Seven Capital Virtues|seven capital virtues]] opposed to each.
