I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord;
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died,
and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day He arose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and
sits at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence 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 life everlasting. Amen.
