Creed of Marcellus (A.D. 340)

“I believe in God, All Governing [pantokratora];

 

And in Christ Jesus His only begotten Son, our Lord,

who was begotten of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary,

who was crucified under Pontius Pilate and buried,

who rose from the dead on the third day,

ascending to the heavens and taking his seat at the Father’s right hand,

whence He shall come to judge both living and dead;

 

And [I believe] in the Holy Spirit,

the holy Church,

the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body [sarkos],

life everlasting.”[1]
