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 GHOST, Born of the Virgin Mary, Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell; The third day he rose from the dead; He ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

And I believe one catholic and apostolic Church. I acknowledge one bap tism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
