III. Credo

I believe in God,

the Father almighty,

creator 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 the 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 Ghost

of the Virgin Mary,

and was made man.

He 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.

He sitteth at the right hand of God the Father,

and he shall come again with glory

to judge both the quick and the dead,

whose kingdom shall have no end,

And in the Holy Ghost,

the Lord and giver of life,

who proceedeth from the Father and the Son,

who with the Father and the Son together

is worshipped and glorified,

who spake by the Prophets,

And in one holy, catholic

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.

Credo in unum Deum,

Patrern omnipotentem,

creator coeli et terrae,

visibilium omnium et invisibilium.

Et in unum Dominum Jesum Christum,

Fillum Del unigenitum,

et ex Patre natum ante omnia saecula,

Deum de Deo, Lumen de Lumine,

Deum verum de Deo vero,

genitum non factum,

consubstantialem Patri,

per quem omnia facta sunt,

qui propter nos homines

et propter nostram salutem

descendit de coelis.

Et incarnatus est de Spiritu Sancto

ex Maria Virgine,

et homo factus est.

Crucifixus etiam pro nobis:

sub Pontio Pilato

passus et sepultus est.

Et resurrexit tertia die,

secundum Scripturas,

et ascendit in coelum.

Sedet ad dextram Dei Patris,

et iterum venturus est cum gloria

judicare vivos et mortuos,

cujus regni non erit finis.

Et in Spiritum Sanctum,

Dominum et vivificantem,

qui ex Patre Filioque procedit,

qui cum Patre et Filio simul

adoratur et conglorificatur,

qui locutus est per Prophetas.

Et unam sanctam catholicam et

apostolicam ecclesiam.

Confiteor unum baptisma

in remissionem peccatorum,

Et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum

et vitam venturi saeculi.

Amen.
