Apostles' Creed
I
believe
in
God,
the
Father
Almighty,
maker
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
rose
again
from
the
dead.
He
ascended
into
heaven
and
sits
at
the
right
hand
of
God
the
Father
Almighty.
From
thence
He
will
come
to
judge
the
living
and
the
dead.
I
believe
in
the
Holy
Spirit,
the
holy
Christian
Church,
the
communion
of
saints,
the
forgiveness
of
sins,
the
resurrection
of
the
body,
and
the
life
everlasting.
Amen.
Nicene Creed
I
believe
in
one
God,
the
Father
Almighty,
maker
of
heaven
and
earth
and
of
all
things visible
and
invisible.
And
in
one
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
the
only‐begotten
Son
of
God,
begotten
of
His
Father
before
all
worlds,
God
of
God,
Light
of
Light,
very
God
of
very
God,
begotten,
not
made,
being
of
one
substance
with
the
Father,
by
whom
all
things
were
made;
who
for
us
men
and
for
our
salvation
came
down
from
heaven
and
was
incarnate
by
the
Holy
Spirit
of
the
virgin
Mary
and
was
made
man;
and
was
crucified
also
for
us
under
Pontius
Pilate.
He
suffered
and
was
buried.
And
the
third
day
He
rose
again
according
to
the
Scriptures
and
ascended
into
heaven
and
sits
at
the
right
hand
of
the
Father.
And
He
will
come
again
with
glory
to
judge
both
the
living
and
the
dead,
whose
kingdom
will
have
no
end.
And
I
believe
in
the
Holy
Spirit,
the
Lord
and
giver
of
life,
who
proceeds
from
the
Father
and
the
Son,
who
with
the
Father
and
the
Son
together
is
worshiped
and
glorified,
who
spoke
by
the
prophets.
And
I
believe
in
one
holy
Christian
and
apostolic
Church
I
acknowledge
one
Baptism
for
the
remission
of
sins,
and
I
look
for
the
resurrection
of
the
dead
and
the
life
of
the
world
to
come.
Amen.
Athanasian Creed
Whoever
desires
to
be
saved
must,
above
all,
hold
the
catholic
faith.
Whoever
does
not
keep
it
whole
and
undefiled
will
without
doubt
perish
eternally.
And
the
catholic
faith
is
this,
that
we
worship
one
God
in
Trinity
and
Trinity
in
Unity,
neither
confusing
the
persons
nor
dividing
the
substance.
For
the
Father
is
one
person,
the
Son
is
another,
and
the
Holy
Spirit
is
another.
But
the
Godhead
of
the
Father
and
of
the
Son
and
of
the
Holy
Spirit
is
one:
the
glory
equal,
the
majesty
coeternal.
Such
as
the
Father
is,
such
is
the
Son,
and
such
is
the
Holy
Spirit:
the
Father
uncreated,
the
Son
uncreated,
the
Holy
Spirit
uncreated;
the
Father
infinite,
the
Son
infinite,
the
Holy
Spirit
infinite;
the
Father
eternal,
the
Son
eternal,
the
Holy
Spirit
eternal.
And
yet
there
are
not
three
Eternals,
but
one
Eternal,
just
as
there
are
not
three
Uncreated
or
three
Infinites,
but
one
Uncreated
and
one
Infinite.
In
the
same
way,
the
Father
is
almighty,
the
Son
almighty,
the
Holy
Spirit
almighty;
and
yet
there
are
not
three
Almighties,
but
one
Almighty.
So
the
Father
is
God,
the
Son
is
God,
the
Holy
Spirit
is
God;
and
yet
there
are
not
three
Gods,
but
one
God.
So
the
Father
is
Lord,
the
Son
is
Lord,
the
Holy
Spirit
is
Lord;
and
yet
there
are
not
three
Lords,
but
one
Lord.
Just
as
we
are
compelled
by
the
Christian
truth
to
acknowledge
each
distinct
person
as
God
and
Lord,
so
also
are
we
prohibited
by
the
catholic
religion
to
say
that
there
are
three
Gods
or
Lords.
The
Father
is
not
made
nor
created
nor
begotten
by
anyone.
The
Son
is
neither
made
nor
created,
but
begotten
of
the
Father
alone.
The
Holy
Spirit
is
of
the
Father
and
of
the
Son,
neither
made
nor
created
nor
begotten,
but
proceeding.
Thus,
there
is
one
Father,
not
three
Fathers;
one
Son,
not
three
Sons;
one
Holy
Spirit,
not
three
Holy
Spirits.
And
in
this
Trinity
none
is
before
or
after
another;
none
is
greater
or
less
than
another;
but
the
whole
three
persons
are
coeternal
with
each
other
and
coequal,
so
that
in
all
things,
as
has
been
stated
above,
the
Trinity
in
Unity
and
Unity
in
Trinity
is
to
be
worshiped.
Therefore,
whoever
desires
to
be
saved
must
think
thus
about
the
Trinity.
But
it
is
also
necessary
for
everlasting
salvation
that
one
faithfully
believe
the
incarnation
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
Therefore,
it
is
the
right
faith
that
we
believe
and
confess
that
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
the
Son
of
God,
is
at
the
same
time
both
God
and
man.
He
is
God,
begotten
from
the
substance
of
the
Father
before
all
ages;
and
He
is
man,
born
from
the
substance
of
His
mother
in
this
age:
perfect
God
and
perfect
man,
composed
of
a
rational
soul
and
human
flesh;
equal
to
the
Father
with
respect
to
His
divinity,
less
than
the
Father
with
respect
to
His
humanity.
Although
He
is
God
and
man,
He
is
not
two,
but
one
Christ:
one,
however,
not
by
the
conversion
of
the
divinity
into
flesh,
but
by
the
assumption
of
the
humanity
into
God;
one
altogether,
not
by
confusion
of
substance,
but
by
unity
of
person.
For
as
the
rational
soul
and
flesh
is
one
man,
so
God
and
man
is
one
Christ,
who
suffered
for
our
salvation,
descended
into
hell,
rose
again
the
third
day
from
the
dead,
ascended
into
heaven,
and
is
seated
at
the
right
hand
of
the
Father,
God
Almighty,
from
whence
He
will
come
to
judge
the
living
and
the
dead.
At
His
coming
all
people
will
rise
again
with
their
bodies
and
give
an
account
concerning
their
own
deeds.
And
those
who
have
done
good
will
enter
into
eternal
life,
and
those
who
have
done
evil
into
eternal
fire.
This
is
the
catholic
faith;
whoever
does
not
believe
it
faithfully
and
firmly
cannot
be
saved
