Chalcedonian Creed

Chalcedonian Creed

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 soul and body; consubstantial
with the Father according to the Godhead, and
consubstantial 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; one and the same Christ, Son, Lord,
only begotten, to be acknowledged in two natures,
unconfusedly, unchangeably, indivisibly,
inseparably; 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.
