Theological virtues

Theological virtues in Christian theology and in philosophy are qualities associated with salvation resulting from the grace of God, which enlightens the human mind.

The three theological virtues are:

These virtues are bestowed upon human beings during baptism (1 Tim 2:4 & Jn 3:5). They help individuals grow in their relationship with God with each act they commit that exhibits one of these virtues.

[He] desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

They are referenced and qualified in the Bible at 1 Corinthians 13:13:

And now abideth faith, hope, and love, even these three: but the chiefest of these is love.

Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.

The English word love for the third and greatest of the virtues, ἀγάπη (agapē), was used by all of the English translations of the Bible in the 16th century, including the Tyndale Bible (1534), the Bishops' Bible (1568), and the Geneva Bible (1560). It is also used by almost all current translations of the Bible, including the New King James Version, the New American Standard Bible, and the New International Version.

The King James Version (1611) and the Challoner Douay Rheims Bible (1752) prefer the more theological term charity for the same idea of specifically Christian love.
