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.
17He descended into hell.The third day he rose
again from the dead. He ascended into heaven,
and sits at the right hand of God, the Father
almighty, from thence he will come to judge the
living and the dead.

church,the communion of saints, the forgiveness
of sins,the resurrection of the body, and the
