Translation

As god he was begotten of the substance of the father before time: as man he was born in time of the substance of his mother./ He is perfect god and he is perfect man continuing with a rational soul and human flesh./ He is equal to the father according to his divinity: but he is inferior to the father according to his humanity./ Although he is god and man: he is not two but one christ./ And he is one not because his divinity was changed into flesh but because his humanity was assumed to god./ He is one not at all because of a mingling of substances: but because he is one person./ For as a rational soul and flesh are one man: so god and man are one christ./ Who died for our salvation: descended to hell: arose from the dead on the third day./ Ascended into heaven sits at the right hand of god the father almighty: and from there he shall come to judge the living and the dead./ At his coming all men are to arise with their own bodies: and they are to give an account of their own lives./ And those who have done good deeds will go into eternal life:
