The Apostles' Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
the Maker 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, dead, and buried;
;;(He descended into hell.1
On the third day He rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven,
and sits at the right hand of God the Father;
from which he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in
;;the Holy Spirit;
;;the holy catholic church;2
;;the communion of saints;
;;the forgiveness of sins;
;;the resurrection of the body;and
;;the life everlasting.
