Theological virtues, in theology and Christian philosophy, are the character qualities associated with salvation, resulting from the grace of God, which enlightens the human mind.〔Cf. Second Council of Orange ch. 5–7; H.J. Denzinger ''Enchiridion Symbolorum et Definitionum'', 375–377〕 == In the Bible == The three theological virtues are: * Faith: belief in God, and in the truth of His revelation as well as obedience to Him (cf. Rom 1:5:16:26)〔Catechism of the Catholic Church n. 2087〕 * Hope: expectation of and desire of receiving; refraining from despair and capability of not giving up. The belief that God will be eternally present in every human's life and never giving up on His love. * Charity: a supernatural virtue that helps us love God and our neighbors, more than ourselves. 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. () 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, (''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. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Theological virtues」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
