«We confess and believe wholeheartedly in God the Father, uncreated, unborn, and without beginning, and begetter of the Son and the cause of the proceeding of the Holy Spirit.
We believe in God the Word, begotten of, and coming from the Father before all ages; neither after nor younger [than the Father], but as much as the Father is the Father, so the Son with Him is Son.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, uncreated, timeless, not begotten of but proceeding from the Father, consubstantial with the Father and sharing the glory with the Son.
We believe in the Holy Trinity, one Nature, one Divinity; not three gods, but one God, one Deity, one will, one kingship, one power; Creator of all visible and invisible things.
We believe in the Holy Church and the forgiveness of sins through the communion of the saints.
We believe that One of the Three Persons, God the Word, begotten by the Father before all ages, in time came down into the Mother of God, Virgin Mary, taking from her blood united it to His Divinity, waited patiently in the womb of the pure Virgin for nine months; and the perfect God became man in spirit, in mind, and in body; one Person, one Countenance, and one United Nature; humanized God without mutation and without alteration; seedless conception and pure birth; without end to His humanity, as there is no beginning to His Divinity, «For Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever» (Heb 13:8).
We believe that our Lord Jesus Christ wandered on earth, and that after thirty years He came to Baptism; the Father testified: «This is my Son, the Beloved» (Mt 17:5), and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in the form of a dove; He was tempted by Satan and defeated him.
He proclaimed salvation for humankind, worked, labored, and experienced hunger and thirst in the body. Then He willingly came to suffer; crucified, died in the body while living as [to His] divinity. His body, unseparated from His divinity, was buried in the grave, and He descended into hell with His indivisible divinity. He preached to the souls, destroyed hell, and liberated the souls. Three days after [His burial] He rose from the dead and appeared to His disciples.
We believe that our Lord Jesus Christ ascended with the same body unto heaven and sat on the right hand of the Father. And He will come to judge the living and the dead.
And to recompense according to deeds-eternal life to the righteous and eternal torment to the sinners.»
