The theological virtues are faith, hope and love.
These virtues are infused, meaning that they are freely given by God, as opposed to acquired virtues, which we gain by practice and hard work. The acquired virtues are many. The main ones are the cardinal virtues: Prudence, justice, temperance and fortitude.

The Cardinal virtue of temperance is developed when a person, young or old, practices the habit of "abstinence" and "self control." Abstinence is the ability to refrain from unhealthy, hurtful and immoral acts, e.g., underage drinking and drunkenness, sexual activity before marriage or engaging in sexual acts with someone other than your spouse.
