Obviously there are more than 7 virtues - there's lots. And there's many ways to divide them up. Just check out this link for instance:

But my point is that most people HAVE heard of Pope Gregory's list of 7 deadly sins, but haven't heard of his (FAR MORE IMPORTANT) list of 7 Heavenly Virtues. That's why I give the best answer to....

The seven deadly sins aren't in the Bible.
I don't know of any seven virtues either.
There are seven detestable things in Proverbs and nine fruits of the spirit in Galatians.
Prov 6:16 There are six things the LORD hates,
seven that are detestable to him:
17 haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
19 a false witness who pours out lies
and a person who stirs up dissension in the community.
Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

The seven deadly sins in the Christian tradition were first compiled by Pope Gregory I around the year 600. They are pride, covetousness, lust, anger, gluttony, envy, and sloth. They are deadly sins because they will easily lead persons away from God’s call to righteousness.
Gregory also compiled a list of the seven virtues: faith, hope, charity, justice, prudence, temperance, and fortitude.
