Symbolum Apostolorum

Credo in Deum Patrem omnipotentem,

Creatorem caeli et terrae.

Et in Iesum Christum, Filium Eius unicum, Dominum nostrum,

qui conceptus est de Spiritu Sancto,

natus ex Maria Virgine,

passus sub Pontio Pilato,

crucifixus, mortuus, et sepultus,

descendit ad ínferos,

tertia die resurrexit a mortuis,

ascendit ad caelos,

sedet ad dexteram Dei Patris omnipotentis,

inde venturus est iudicare vivos et mortuos.

Credo in Spiritum Sanctum,

sanctam Ecclesiam catholicam,

sanctorum communionem,

remissionem peccatorum,

carnis resurrectionem,

vitam aeternam.

Amen.

Πιστεύω εις θεòν πατέρα παντοκράτορα,

ποιητην ουρανου και γης.

Και εις Ιησουν Χριστòν, υιον αυτου τòν μονογενη, τòν κύριον ημων, τòν συλληφθέντα εκ πνεύματος αγίου,

γεννηθέντα εκ Μαρίας της παρθένου,

παθόντα επι Ποντίου Πιλάτου,

σταυρωθέντα, θανόντα, και ταφέντα,

κατελθόντα εις τά κατώτατα,

τη τρίτη ημέρα αναστάντα απò των νεκρων,

ανελθόντα εις τους ουρανούς,

καθεζόμενον εν δεξια θεου πατρος παντοδυνάμου,

εκειθεν ερχόμενον κριναι ζωντας και νεκρούς.

Πιστεύω εις τò Πνευμα τò Αγιον,

αγίαν καθολικην εκκλησίαν,

αγίων κοινωνίαν,

αφεσιν αμαρτιων,

σαρκος ανάστασιν,

ζωην αιώνιον.

Αμήν.

[trɔ asi le eŋu] Book of Common Prayer

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 Catholick Church;

The Communion of Saints;

The Forgiveness of sins;

The Resurrection of the body,

And the life everlasting.

Amen.
