[[St Paul]] identified the three greatest virtues as [[faith]], [[hope]] and [[love]]<ref>1 Corinthians 13:13</ref> (or [[charity]] – the word ''caritas'' can be translated either way).

There is no express [[biblical]] basis for the cardinal virtues, although they can be found in the [[apocrypha]] in Wisdom 8:7.<ref>[http://www.newadvent.org/bible/wis008.htm Book of Wisdom, Chapter 8]</ref> Together with the three theological virtues, this gives a total of seven virtues to match the [[Seven Deadly Sins]]; contrasting portrayals of the sins and virtues are common in religious [[art]].
