Creeds

Question 1

The Apostles’ Creed

Answer 1

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 rose 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.

Question 2

The Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed

Answer 2

I believe in one God, 
the Father, the Almighty, 
maker of heaven and earth, 
of all that is, seen and unseen.
I believe one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God, 
eternally begotten of the Father, 
God from God, Light from Light, 
true God from true God, 
begotten, not made, 
one in Being with the Father. 
Through Him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation, 
He came down from heaven: by the 
power of the Holy Spirit He was 
born of the Virgin Mary,
and became Man.
For our sake He was crucified 
under Pontius Pilate; 
He suffered, died, and was buried.
On the third day He rose again 
in fulfillment of the Scriptures;
He ascended into heaven, 
and is seated at the right hand of the 
Father. He will come again in glory 
to judge the living and the dead,
and His kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, 
the Lord, the Giver of life, 
Who proceeds from the Father and 
the Son. With the Father and the Son 
He is worshiped and glorified. 
He has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic, 
and apostolic Church.
I acknowledge one Baptism 
for the forgiveness of sins. 
I look for the resurrection of the dead, 
and the life of the world to come.
Amen.
