Whosoever will be saved, before all things it is necessary that he hold
                            the catholic [apostolic/universal] faith, [2] which except everyone shall
                            have kept whole and undefiled, without doubt he will perish eternally.

                                [3] Now the catholic faith is this: We worship One God in Trinity
               and Trinity in Unity, [4] neither confounding the Persons nor dividing the substance.
               [5] For there is one Person of the Father, another of the Son, another of the Holy
               Spirit. [6] But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, is One,
               the Glory equal, the Majesty coeternal.

                   [7] Such as the Father is, such is the Son, and such is the Holy Spirit; [8] the
               Father uncreated, the Son uncreated, and the Holy Spirit uncreated; [9] the father
               infinite, the Son infinite, and the Holy Spirit infinite; [10] the Father eternal, the Son
               eternal, and the Holy Spirit eternal. [11] And yet not three eternals but one eternal,
               [12] as also not three infinites, nor three uncreated, but one uncreated, and one
               infinite. [13] So, likewise, the Father is almighty, the Son almighty, and the Holy
               Spirit almighty; and yet not three almighties but one almighty.

                   [15] So the Father is God, the Son God, and the Holy Spirit God; [16] and yet not
               three Gods but one God. [17] So the Father is Lord, the Son Lord, and the Holy
               Spirit Lord; [18] and yet not three Lords but one Lord. [19] For like as we are
               compelled by Christian truth to acknowledge every Person by Himself to be both
               God and Lord; [20] so are we forbidden by the catholic religion to say, there be three
               Gods or three Lords.

                   [21] The Father is made of none, neither created nor begotten. [22] The Son is of
               the Father alone, not made nor created but begotten. [23] The Holy Spirit is of the
               Father and the Son, not made nor created nor begotten but proceeding. [24] So there
               is one Father not three Fathers, one Son not three Sons, and Holy Spirit not three
               Holy Spirits. [25] And in this Trinity there is nothing before or after, nothing greater
               or less, [26] but the whole three Persons are coeternal together and coequal.

                   [27] So that in all things, as is aforesaid, the trinity in Unity and the Unity in
               Trinity is to be worshipped. [28] He therefore who wills to be in a state of salvation,
               let him think thus of the Trinity.

                   [29] But it is necessary to eternal salvation that he also believe faithfully the
               Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. [30] The right faith therefore is that we believe
               and confess that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and Man.

                   [31] He is God of the substance of the Father begotten before the worlds, and
               He is man of the substance of His mother born in the world; [32] perfect God,
               perfect man subsisting of a reasoning soul and human flesh; [33] equal to the Father
               as touching His Godhead, inferior to the Father as touching His Manhood.

                   [34] Who although He be God and Man yet He is not two but one Christ; [35] one
               however not by conversion of the GodHead in the flesh, but by taking of the
               Manhood in God; [36] one altogether not by confusion of substance but by unity of
               Person. [37] For as the reasoning soul and flesh is one man, so God and Man is one
               Christ.

                   [38] Who suffered for our salvation, descended into hell, rose again from the
               dead, [39] ascended into heaven, sits at the right hand of the Father, [40] from whence
               He shall come to judge the living and the dead. [41] At whose coming all men shall
               rise again with their bodies [42] and shall give account for their own works. [43] And
               they that have done good shall go into life eternal, and they who indeed have done
               evil into eternal fire.

                   [44] This is the catholic faith, which except a man shall have believed faithfully
               and firmly he cannot be in a state of salvation.
