Who was conceived by the holy spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Poncius Pilot, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell and on the 3rd day he rose again from the dead. He accented into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the father almighty, from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the holy spirit, the holy Catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life of the world to come. |
