    THE APOSTLES CREED

    I believe in God the Father Almighty,

    Maker of heaven and earth:

    And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord;

    Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,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 quick and the dead.I believe in the Holy Ghost;

    the holy catholic church;the communion of saints;

    the forgiveness of sins;the resurrection of the body;

    and the life everlasting. Amen.
