He descended in to hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From hence he shall come to judge the living 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.

For us men and for our salvation He came down from heaven;by the power of the Holy Spirit He became incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and was made human. For our sake He was Crucified under Pontius Pilate;He suffered death and was buried. On the third day He rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
