The Apostles Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven
and earth:
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, dead, and
buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again
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 living and the dead.
