   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 Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius

   Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried; the third day he rose from

   the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at 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 Spirit, the holy catholic

   church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the

   resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
