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; on the third day He rose again from the dead; He
ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand
of God the Father almighty; from there He will come
to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy
