The 7 deadly sins vs. The 7 heavenly virtues. - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Feanor pretty much said all I could think of for the deadly sins, but let me add a bit about the virtues.

Faith
"Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we cannot see."

The quote that comes to mind is Gandalf talking with Pippin: "What does your heart tell you?" "That Frodo's alive." (paraphazing, can't find the exact quote)

Charity
If you look at the King James translation of the Bible, you'll see 'charity' where any other translation would have 'love'.

We all know how much the Fellowship was bound by love.

Just wanted to clarify about those two things.
