Maker of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ,

his only Son, our Lord,

who was conceived

born of the virgin Mary,

suffered under Pontius Pilate,

was crucified, died, and was buried.

He descended into hell.

The third day he rose again

from the dead.

He ascended into heaven

and is seated at the right hand

of God the Father Almighty.

From there he will come

to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the holy Christian Church,

the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins,

su único Hijo, nuestro Señor,

que fue concebido

por obra del Espíritu Santo,

nació de la virgen María,

padeció bajo el poder

de Poncio Pilato,

fue crucificado, murió,

y fue sepultado.

Descendió al infierno.

Al tercer día resucitó

de entre los muertos.

Subió al cielo, y está sentado a la

diestra de Dios Padre todopoderoso.

De ahí vendrá de nuevo a juzgar a

los vivos y a los muertos.

Creo en el Espíritu Santo,

la santa iglesia cristiana,

la comunión de los santos,

el perdón de los pecados,

la resurrección del cuerpo,

y la vida eterna. Amén.
