The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty,
      creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
      who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
      and born of the virgin Mary.
      He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
      was crucified, died, and was buried;
      he descended to hell.
      The third day he rose again from the dead.
      He ascended to 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 catholic* church,
      the communion of saints,
      the forgiveness of sins,
      the resurrection of the body,
      and the life everlasting. Amen.

*that is, the true Christian church of all times and all places

Here’s the Tagalog Translation from Ptr. Romy:

Sumasampalataya ako sa Diyos, ang Amang makapangyarihan sa lahat, 
   Manlilikha ng langit at lupa. 

Sumasampalataya ako kay Jesukristo, ang Kanyang Bugtong na Anak, na ating Panginoon, 
  na ipinagdalantao sa pamamagitan ng Banal na Espiritu, 
  ipinanganak ng birheng si Maria, 
  nagdusa sa ilalim ni Poncio Pilato,
  ipinako sa krus, namatay, at inilibing;

  Sa ikatlong araw ay nabuhay na muli; 
  Siya ay umakyat sa langit, naluklok sa kanang kamay ng Ama, 
  at Siya ay babalik upang hatulan ang mga buhay at ang mga patay. 

Sumasampalataya ako sa Banal na Espiritu, 
  sa banal at pangkalahatang Iglesya, 
  sa pakikisama ng mga banal, 
  sa kapatawaran ng mga kasalanan, 
  sa pagkabuhay na muli ng katawan, 
  at sa buhay na walang hanggan. Amen.
