Bible Articles and Lessons: First Principles

Apostles’ creed

I believe in God the Father, Almighty; Maker of Heaven and Earth; and in Jesus Christ His only begotten 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 the Father; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit; the holy church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting.

[May be traced to 130-140 AD, and perhaps earlier.]
