Editing Cardinal virtues (section)

==== In the New Testament ====

[[Wisdom]], usually {{transliteration|grc|[[Sophia (wisdom)|sophia]]}}, rather than Prudence ({{transliteration|grc|phrónēsis}}), is discussed extensively in all parts of the [[New Testament]]. It is a major topic of [[1 Corinthians 2]], where the author discusses how divine teaching and power are greater than worldly wisdom.

[[Justice (virtue)|Justice]] ({{lang|grc|δικαιοσύνη}}, {{Transliteration|grc|dikaiosýnē}}) is taught in the gospels, where most translators give it as "righteousness".

Plato's word for [[Courage|Fortitude]] ({{lang|grc|ἀνδρεία}}) is not present in the New Testament, but the virtues of steadfastness ({{lang|grc|ὑπομονή}}, {{Transliteration|grc|hypomonē}}) and patient endurance ({{lang|grc|μακροθυμία}}, {{Transliteration|grc|makrothymia}}) are praised. Paul exhorts believers to "act like men" ({{lang|grc|ἀνδρίζομαι}}, {{Transliteration|grc|andrizomai}}, {{Bibleverse|1 Corinthians|16:13}}).

[[Temperance (virtue)|Temperance]] ({{lang|grc|σωφροσύνη}}, [[Sophrosyne|{{Transliteration|grc|sōphrosýnē}}]]), usually translated "sobriety," is present in the New Testament, along with self-control ({{lang|grc|ἐγκράτεια}}, {{Transliteration|grc|egkrateia}}).<ref>{{cite book|last=Plummer|first=Alfred|editor-first=W.
