四大信经

我信上帝，全能的父，创造天地的主。

我信我主耶稣基督，上帝的独生子；因着圣灵感孕，从童贞女马利亚所生；在本丢彼拉多手下受难，被钉在十字架上，受死，埋葬；降在阴间；第三天从死里复活；升天，坐在全能父上帝的右边；将来必从那里降临，审判活人，死人。

我信圣灵；我信圣而公之教会；我信圣徒相通；我信罪得赦免；我信身体复活；我信永生。阿们！

CREDO in Deum Patrem omnipotentem, Creatorem caeli et terrae. Et in Iesum Christum, Filium eius unicum, Dominum nostrum, qui conceptus est de Spiritu Sancto, natus ex Maria Virgine, passus sub Pontio Pilato, crucifixus, mortuus, et sepultus, descendit ad inferos, tertia die resurrexit a mortuis, ascendit ad caelos, sedet ad dexteram Dei Patris omnipotentis, inde venturus est iudicare vivos et mortuos. Credo in Spiritum Sanctum, sanctam Ecclesiam catholicam, sanctorum communionem, remissionem peccatorum, carnis resurrectionem, vitam aeternam. Amen.

I BELIEVE in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, Who was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; He descended into hell; on 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 catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

我信独一神，全能的父，创造天地和有形无形万物的主。

我信独一主耶稣基督，神的独生子，在万世以前为父所生，出于神而为神，出于光而为光，出于真神而为真神，受生而非被造，与父一体，万物都是借着他受造的；

他要为拯救我们世人，从天降临，因着圣灵，并从童贞女马利亚成肉身，而为人。

在本丢彼拉多手下，为我们钉于十字架上，受难，埋葬；

照圣经第三日复活；

升天，坐在父的右边；

将来必有荣耀再降临，审判活人死人；他的国度永无穷尽；

我信圣灵，赐生命的主，从父和子出来，与父子同受敬拜，同受尊荣，他曾借众先知说话。

我信独一神圣、大公、使徒的教会；

我认使罪得赦的独一洗礼；

我望死人复活；

并来世生命。阿们。

CREDO in unum Deum, Patrem omnipotentem, factorem caeli et terrae, visibilium omnium et invisibilium.	I BELIEVE in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.
Et in unum Dominum Iesum Christum, Filium Dei unigenitum, et ex Patre natum ante omnia saecula. Deum de Deo, Lumen de Lumine, Deum verum de Deo vero, genitum non factum, consubstantialem Patri; per quem omnia facta sunt.	I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through Him all things were made.
Qui propter nos homines et propter nostram salutem descendit de caelis. Et incarnatus est de Spiritu Sancto ex Maria Virgine, et homo factus est.	For us men and for our salvation He came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
Crucifixus etiam pro nobis sub Pontio Pilato, passus et sepultus est, et resurrexit tertia die, secundum Scripturas, et ascendit in caelum, sedet ad dexteram Patris.	For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate, He suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
Et iterum venturus est cum gloria, iudicare vivos et mortuos, cuius regni non erit finis.	He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and His kingdom will have no end.
Et in Spiritum Sanctum, Dominum et vivificantem, qui ex Patre Filioque procedit.	I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
Qui cum Patre et Filio simul adoratur et conglorificatur: qui locutus est per prophetas.	Who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the Prophets.
Et unam, sanctam, catholicam et apostolicam Ecclesiam.	And I believe in one holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
Confiteor unum baptisma in remissionem peccatorum. Et expecto resurrectionem mortuorum, et vitam venturi saeculi. Amen.	I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen

我们跟随圣教父，同心合意教人宣认同一位子，我们的主耶稣基督，是神性完全人性亦完全者；

祂真是神，也真是人，具有理性的灵魂，也具有身体；

按神性说，祂与父同质，按人性说，祂与我们同质，在凡事上与我们一样，只是没有罪；

按神性说，在万世之先，为父所生，按人性说，在这末世，为拯救我们，由神之母，童女马利亚所生；

是同一基督，是子，是主，是独生的，具有二性，不相混乱，不相交换，不能分开，不能离散；

二性的区别不因联合而消失，各性的特点反得以保存，会合于一个位格，一个实质之内，而非分离成为两个位格，却是同一位子，独生的，道神，主耶稣基督；

正如众先知论到祂自始所宣讲的，主耶稣基督自己所教训我们的，诸圣教父的信经所传给我们的。

Ἑπόμενοι τοίνυν τοῖς ἁγίοις πατράσιν ἕνα καὶ τὸν αὐτὸν ὁμολογεῖν υἱὸν τὸν κύριον ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦν Χριστὸν συμφώνως ἅπαντες ἐκδιδάσκομεν, τέλειον τὸν αὐτὸν ἐν θεότητι καὶ τέλειον τὸν αὐτὸν ἐν ἀνθρωπότητι, θεὸν ἀληθῶς καὶ ἄνθρωπον ἀληθῶς τὸν αὐτὸν, ἐκ ψυχῆς λογικῆς i καὶ σώματος, ὁμοούσιονii τῷ πατρὶ κατὰ τὴν θεότητα, καὶ ὁμοούσιονiii τὸν αὐτὸν ἡμῖν κατὰ τὴν ἀνθρωπότητα, κατὰ πάντα ὅμοιον ἡμῖν χωρὶς ἁμαρτίας· πρὸ αἰώνων μὲν ἐκ τοῦ πατρὸς γεννηθέντα κατὰ τὴν θεότητα, ἐπ᾽ ἐσχάτων δὲ τῶν ἡμερῶν τὸν αὐτὸν δἰ ἡμᾶς καὶ διὰ τὴν ἡμετέραν σωτηρίαν ἐκ Μαρίας τῆς παρθένου τῆς θεοτόκου κατὰ τὴν ἀνθρωπότητα ,iv ἕνα καὶ τὸν αὐτὸν Χριστόν, υἱόν, κύριον, μονογενῆ, ἐκ δύο φύσεων [ἐν δύο φύσεσιν] ,v ἀσυγχύτως, ἀτρέπτως ,vi ἀδιαιρέτως, ἀχωρίστως vii νωριζόμενον· οὐδαμοῦ τῆς τῶν φύσεων διαφορᾶς ἀνῃρημένης διὰ τὴν ἕνωσιν, σωζομένης δὲ μᾶλλον τῆς ἰδιότητος ἑκατέρας φύσεως καὶ εἰς ἓν πρόσωπον καὶ μίαν ὑπὸστασιν συντρεχούσης, οὐκ εἰς δύο πρόσωπα μεριζόμενον ἢ διαιρούμενον, ἀλλ᾽ ἕνα καὶ τὸν αὐτὸν υἱὸν καὶ μονογενῆ, θεὸν λόγον, κύριον Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν· καθάπερ ἄνωθεν οἱ προφῆται περὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ αὐτὸς ἡμᾶς ὁ κύριος Ιησοῦς Χριστὸς ἐξεπαίδευσε καὶ τὸ τῶν πατέρων ἡμῖν καραδέδωκε σύμβολον. 

We, then, following the holy Fathers, all with one consent, teach men to confess one and the same Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, the same perfect in Godhead and also perfect in manhood; truly God and truly man, of a reasonable [rational] soul. i and body; consubstantial [coessential]ii with the Father according to the Godhead, and consubstantialiii with us according to the Manhood; in all things like unto us, without sin; begotten before all ages of the Father according to the Godhead, and in these latter days, for us and for our salvation, born of the Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, according to the Manhood;iv one and the same Christ, Son, Lord, Only-begotten, to be acknowledged in two natures,v inconfusedly, unchangeably, vi indivisibly, inseparably;vii the distinction of natures being by no means taken away by the union, but rather the property of each nature being preserved, and concurring in one Person and one Subsistence, not parted or divided into two persons, but one and the same Son, and only begotten, God the Word, the Lord Jesus Christ, as the prophets from the beginning [have declared] concerning him, and the Lord Jesus Christ himself has taught us, and the Creed of the holy Fathers has handed down to us.

SYMBOLUM CHALCEDONENSE. VERSIO LATINA.

Sequentes igitur sanctos patres, unum eundemque confiteri FILIUM et DOMINUM NOSTRUM JESUM CHRISTUM consonanter omnes docemus, eundem perfectum in deitate et eundem perfectum in humanitate; Deum verum et hominem verum eundem ex anima rationali et corpore; consubstantialem Patri secundum deitatem, consubstantialem nobis eundem secundum humanitatem; ‘per omnia nobis similem, absque peccato’ (Heb. iv.): ante secula quidem de Patre genitum secundum deitatem; in novissimis autem diebus eundem propter nos et propter nostram salutem ex Maria virgine, Dei genitrice secundum humanitatem; unum eundemque Christum, filium, Dominum, unigenitum, in duabus naturis INCONFUSE, IMMUTABILITER, INDIVISE, INSEPERABILITER agnoscendum: nusquam sublata differentia naturarum propter unitionem, magisque salva proprietate utriusque naturæ, et in unam personam atque subsistentiam concurrente: non in duos personas partitum aut divisum, sed unum eundemque Filium et unigenitum, Deum verbum, Dominum Jesum Christum; sicut ante prophetæ de eo et ipse nos Jesus Christus erudivit et patrum nobis symbolum tradidit.

人要得到神的拯救，最重要的是：必须要持守大公教会的信仰。

人必需要笃信无疑的、完整的、纯洁的持守此信仰。

大公教会信仰即是：我们敬拜三位一体的独一神；这独一神里的三位乃是合而为一的。

独一神里的三位彼此间不混乱，其本质也不分开。

此三位乃是：圣父、圣子、圣灵。

然而圣父、圣子、圣灵乃是在同一个神性本质内；祂们的荣耀及永恒中的威严也是相同的。

圣父是怎样的神，圣子也就是那样的神，圣灵亦是那样的神。

圣父并非是受造的，圣子也是如此，圣灵亦是如此。

圣父是无限的，圣子也是无限的，圣灵亦是无限的。

圣父是永恒的，圣子也是永恒的，圣灵亦是永恒的。

然而祂们并不是三位永恒的神，而是独一的永恒神。

也不是三位非受造的无限之神，而是独一的非受造的无限之神。

相同的，圣父是全能的，圣子也是全能的，圣灵亦是全能的。

然而祂们并不是三位全能的神，而是独一的全能神。

圣父是神，圣子也是神，圣灵亦是神。

然而祂们并不是三位神，而是独一的神。

相同的，圣父是我们的主，圣子也是我们的主，圣灵亦是我们的主。

然而，我们并非有三位主，而是只有独一的主。

因此，我们受到基督真理的催促而承认：圣父、圣子、圣灵每一位都是神、都是我们的主。

大公基督教也禁止我们说：有三位神、或三位主。

圣父并非是经由某某或某物而产生的；并非是受造的，也非被生的。

圣子是单单是经由圣父而产生的；但并不是被圣父所造，而是经由圣父所生出。

圣灵是经由圣父和圣子而产生的；但并不是被造，也不是被生出，而是从圣父和圣子而发出。

因此有一位圣父，而非三位圣父；有一位圣子，而非三位圣子；有一位圣灵，而非三位圣灵。

在此三位一体独一神中的三位之间，并无前后、尊卑、大小之分别。

三位乃是共同的永恒及同等。

因此，如前所述，这合一的三位一体神，或说是三位一体的合一神，当受我们敬拜。

所以人要得到神的拯救，必须要思想这位三位一体之神。

此外，要得到神的救恩，也必须要笃信我们主耶稣基督的道成肉身。

因为纯正的信仰乃是我们宣告相信：神的儿子，我们的主耶稣基督是神、也是人。

祂是神，在诸世界存在之前被圣父生出，有着圣父的本质；祂也是人，生出在这个世界之中，有着祂母亲的本质。

祂是完全的神，也是具有理性之灵魂及人类血肉实体之完全的人，

就衪的神性而论，祂与圣父同等；就衪的人性而论，祂低于圣父。

虽然祂同时是神、也是人，然而并非是两位，而是一位基督。

祂是将人性带进神之中的那一位，而不是将神性转变为血肉之躯的那一位。

祂完全是一位，但并非借着祂的神性和人性本质两者间互相混合成为一，而是借着位格的联合为一。

就如同祂的理性之灵魂和肉体之躯联合成为一位人；相同的，神和人也是联合为一位基督。

衪为了拯救我们而受难，并下到阴间，但在第三天从死里复活。

衪升到天上，坐在全能父神的右边。

将来要从那里降临，来审判活人和死人。

当祂降临时，所有的人必然会从肉身中复活。

所有的人必要供认他们自己所做过的事。

那些行善的人必要进入永生，为恶的人必要进入永火中。

以上乃是大公教会的信仰，除非人虔诚笃信，否则便无法得到拯救。阿们。

QUICUMQUE vult salvus esse, ante omnia opus est, ut teneat catholicam fidem:	WHOEVER wishes to be saved must, above all, keep the Catholic faith.
Quam nisi quisque integram inviolatamque servaverit, absque dubio in aeternum peribit.	For unless a person keeps this faith whole and entire, he will undoubtedly be lost forever.
Fides autem catholica haec est: ut unum Deum in Trinitate, et Trinitatem in unitate veneremur.	This is what the catholic faith teaches: we worship one God in the Trinity and the Trinity in unity.
Neque confundentes personas, neque substantiam separantes.	Neither confounding the Persons, nor dividing the substance.
Alia est enim persona Patris alia Filii, alia Spiritus Sancti:	For there is one person of the Father, another of the Son, another of the Holy Spirit.
Sed Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti una est divinitas, aequalis gloria, coaeterna maiestas.	But the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit have one divinity, equal glory, and coeternal majesty.
Qualis Pater, talis Filius, talis Spiritus Sanctus.	What the Father is, the Son is, and the Holy Spirit is.
Increatus Pater, increatus Filius, increatus Spiritus Sanctus.	The Father is uncreated, the Son is uncreated, and the Holy Spirit is uncreated.
Immensus Pater, immensus Filius, immensus Spiritus Sanctus.	The Father is boundless, the Son is boundless, and the Holy Spirit is boundless.
Aeternus Pater, aeternus Filius, aeternus Spiritus Sanctus.	The Father is eternal, the Son is eternal, and the Holy Spirit is eternal.
Et tamen non tres aeterni, sed unus aeternus.	Nevertheless, there are not three eternal beings, but one eternal being.
Sicut non tres increati, nec tres immensi, sed unus increatus, et unus immensus.	So there are not three uncreated beings, nor three boundless beings, but one uncreated being and one boundless being.
Similiter omnipotens Pater, omnipotens Filius, omnipotens Spiritus Sanctus.	Likewise, the Father is omnipotent, the Son is omnipotent, the Holy Spirit is omnipotent.
Et tamen non tres omnipotentes, sed unus omnipotens.	Yet there are not three omnipotent beings, but one omnipotent being.
Ita Deus Pater, Deus Filius, Deus Spiritus Sanctus.	Thus the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God.
Et tamen non tres dii, sed unus est Deus.	However, there are not three gods, but one God.
Ita Dominus Pater, Dominus Filius, Dominus Spiritus Sanctus.	The Father is Lord, the Son is Lord, and the Holy Spirit is Lord.
Et tamen non tres Domini, sed unus est Dominus.	However, there are not three lords, but one Lord.
Quia, sicut singillatim unamquamque personam Deum ac Dominum confiteri christiana veritate compellimur: ita tres Deos aut Dominos dicere catholica religione prohibemur.	For as we are obliged by Christian truth to acknowledge every Person singly to be God and Lord, so too are we forbidden by the Catholic religion to say that there are three Gods or Lords.
Pater a nullo est factus: nec creatus, nec genitus.	The Father was not made, nor created, nor generated by anyone.
Filius a Patre solo est: non factus, nec creatus, sed genitus.	The Son is not made, nor created, but begotten by the Father alone.
Spiritus Sanctus a Patre et Filio: non factus, nec creatus, nec genitus, sed procedens.	The Holy Spirit is not made, nor created, nor generated, but proceeds from the Father and the Son.
Unus ergo Pater, non tres Patres: unus Filius, non tres Filii: unus Spiritus Sanctus, non tres Spiritus Sancti.	There is, then, one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three sons; one Holy Spirit, not three holy spirits.
Et in hac Trinitate nihil prius aut posterius, nihil maius aut minus: sed totae tres personae coaeternae sibi sunt et coaequales.	In this Trinity, there is nothing before or after, nothing greater or less. The entire three Persons are coeternal and coequal with one another.
Ita ut per omnia, sicut iam supra dictum est, et unitas in Trinitate, et Trinitas in unitate veneranda sit.	So that in all things, as is has been said above, the Unity is to be worshiped in Trinity and the Trinity in Unity.
Qui vult ergo salvus esse, ita de Trinitate sentiat.	He, therefore, who wishes to be saved, must believe thus about the Trinity.
Sed necessarium est ad aeternam salutem, ut incarnationem quoque Domini nostri Iesu Christi fideliter credat.	It is also necessary for eternal salvation that he believes steadfastly in the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Est ergo fides recta ut credamus et confiteamur, quia Dominus noster Iesus Christus, Dei Filius, Deus et homo est.	Thus the right faith is that we believe and confess that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is both God and man.
Deus est ex substantia Patris ante saecula genitus: et homo est ex substantia matris in saeculo natus.	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.
Perfectus Deus, perfectus homo: ex anima rationali et humana carne subsistens.	He is perfect God; and He is perfect man, with a rational soul and human flesh.
Aequalis Patri secundum divinitatem: minor Patre secundum humanitatem.	He is equal to the Father in His divinity, but inferior to the Father in His humanity.
Qui licet Deus sit et homo, non duo tamen, sed unus est Christus.	Although He is God and man, He is not two, but one Christ.
Unus autem non conversione divinitatis in carnem, sed assumptione humanitatis in Deum.	And He is one, not because His divinity was changed into flesh, but because His humanity was assumed unto God.
Unus omnino, non confusione substantiae, sed unitate personae.	He is one, not by a mingling of substances, but by unity of person.
Nam sicut anima rationalis et caro unus est homo: ita Deus et homo unus est Christus.	As a rational soul and flesh are one man: so God and man are one Christ.
Qui passus est pro salute nostra: descendit ad inferos: tertia die resurrexit a mortuis.	He died for our salvation, descended into hell, and rose from the dead on the third day.
Ascendit ad caelos, sedet ad dexteram Dei Patris omnipotentis: inde venturus est iudicare vivos et mortuos.	He ascended into heaven, sits at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From there He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
Ad cuius adventum omnes homines resurgere habent cum corporibus suis: et reddituri sunt de factis propriis rationem.	At His coming, all men are to arise with their own bodies; and they are to give an account of their own deeds.
Et qui bona egerunt, ibunt in vitam aeternam: qui vero mala, in ignem aeternum.	Those who have done good deeds will go into eternal life; those who have done evil will go into the everlasting fire.
Haec est fides catholica, quam nisi quisque fideliter firmiterque crediderit, salvus esse non poterit. Amen.	This is the Catholic faith. Everyone must believe it, firmly and steadfastly; otherwise He cannot be saved. Amen.
