I believe in God the Father Almighty

Maker of heaven and earth.

 

I believe in Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, our Lord;

who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,

born of the virgin Mary;

suffered under Pontius Pilate;

was crucified, dead, and buried;

He descended into hell;

the third day He rose again from the dead;

He ascended into heaven,

and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;

from there He shall come to judge the living and the dead.

 

I believe in the Holy Spirit;

the holy catholic* church;

the communion of saints;

the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body;

and the life everlasting. Amen.
