+ And was incarnate of the holy Virgin Mary, Mother of God, by the Holy Spirit and became man.

+ And was crucified for us in the days of Pontius Pilate, and suffered and died, and was buried.

And on the third day rose again according to His will, and ascended into heaven, and sat on the right hand of the Father, and shall come again in His great glory to judge both the quick and the dead, whose kingdom shall have no end. Amen.

And in the one living Holy Spirit, the life giving Lord of all, who proceeds from the Father, and who, with the Father and the Son, is worshiped and glorified, who spoke by the prophets and the apostles. Amen

And we acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins.
And look for the resurrection of the dead.
And the new life in the world to come. Amen.
