The Athanasian Creed （主後五世紀）
1. 凡人欲得救，首先當持守大公教會信仰。
2. 此信仰，凡守之不全不正者，必永遠沉淪。
3. 大公教會信仰即：我等敬拜一體三位，而三位一體之神。
4. 其位不紊，其體不分。
5. 父一位，子一位，聖靈亦一位。
6. 然而父子聖靈同一神性，同一榮耀，亦同一永恆之尊嚴。
7. 父如何，子如何，聖靈亦如何。
8. 父不受造，子不受造，聖靈亦不受造。
9. 父無限，子無限，聖靈亦無限。
10. 父永恆，子永恆，聖靈亦永恆。
11. 非三永恆者，乃一永恆者。
12. 非三不受造者，非三無限者，乃一不受造者，一無限者。
13. 如此，父全能，子全能，聖靈亦全能。
14. 然而，非三全能者，乃一全能者。
15. 如是，父是神，子是神，聖靈亦是神。
16. 然而，非三神，乃一神。
17. 如是，父是主，子是主，聖靈亦是主。
18. 然而，非三主，乃一主。
19. 依基督真道，我等不得不認三位均為神，均為主。
20. 依大公教，我等亦不得謂神有三，亦不得謂主有三。
21. 父非由誰作成：既非受造，亦非受生。
22. 子獨由於父：非作成，亦非受造；而為受生。
23. 聖靈由於父和子：既非作成，亦非受造，亦非受生；而為發出。
24. 如是，有一父，非三父，有一子，非三子，有一聖靈，非三聖靈。
25. 且此三位無分先後，無別尊卑。
26. 三位乃均永恆，而同等。
27. 由是如前所言，我等當敬拜一體三位，而三位一體之神。
28. 所以凡欲得救者，必如是而思三位一體之神。
29. 再者，為求得永恆救贖，彼亦必篤信我等之主耶穌基督成為人身。
30. 依真正信仰，我等信認神之子我等之主耶穌基督，為神，又為人。
31. 其為神，與聖父同體，受生於諸世界之先；其為人，與其母同體，誕生於此世界。
32. 全神，亦全人，具有理性之靈，血肉之身。
33. 依其為神，與父同等，依其為人，少遜於父。
34. 彼雖為神，亦為人，然非為二，乃為一基督。
35. 彼為一，非由於變神為血肉，乃由於使其人性進入於神。
36. 合為一：非由二性相混，乃由於位格為一。
37. 如靈與身成為一人，神與人成為一基督。
38. 彼為救我等而受難，降至陰間，第三日從死裡復活。
39. 升天，作於全能神父之右。
40. 將來必從彼處降臨，審判活人死人。
41. 彼降臨時，萬人必具身體復活；
42. 並供認所行之事。
43. 行善者必入永生，作惡者必入永火。
44. 此乃大公教會之信仰，人除非篤實相信，必不能得救。
The Athanasian Creed:
1. Whosoever will be saved; before all things it is necessary that he holds the Catholic [universal] Faith;
2. Which Faith except every one do keep whole and undefiled; without doubt he shall perish everlastingly.
3. And the Catholic Faith is this: That we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity;
4. Neither confounding the persons, nor dividing the substance [essense].
5. For there is one Person of the Father; another of the Son; and another of the Holy Ghost [Spirit].
6. But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son and the Holy Ghost, is all one: the Glory equal; the Majesty coeternal.
7. Such as the Father is; such is the Son; and such is the Holy Ghost.
8. The Father uncreate []uncreated]; the Son uncreate; the Holy Ghost uncreate.
9. The Father incomprehensible [unlimited, or infinite]; the Son incomprehensibel; the Holy Ghost incomprehensible.
10. The Father eternal; the Son eternal; and the Holy Ghost eternal.
11. And yet they are not three eternals, but one eternal.
12. As there are not three uncreated; nor three incomprehensibles, but one uncreated; and one incomprehensible.
13. So likewise the Father is Almighty; the Son is Almighty; and the Holy Ghost Almighty.
14. And yet there are not three Almighties; but one Almighty.
15. So the Father is God; the Son is God; andtheHoly Ghost is God.
16. And yet there are not three Gods; but one God.
17. So likewise the Father is Lord; the Son Lord; and the Holy Ghost Lord.
18. And yet not three Lords, but one Lord.
19. For like as we are compelled by the Christian verity: to acknowledge every person by himself to be God and Lord;
20. So we are forbidden by the Catholic Riligion: to say, Thre be [are] three Gods, or three Lords.
21. The Father is made of none: neither created, nor begotten.
22. The Son is of the Father alone: not made, nor created, but bgotten.
23. The Holy Ghost is of the Father and of the Son: neither made, nor created, nor begotten; but proceeding.
24. So there is one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons; One Holy Ghost, not three Holy Ghosts.
25. And in this thinity none is afore, or after another; none is greater, nor less than another [there is nothing before, or after; nothing greater or less].
26. But the whole three Persons are coeternal, and coequal.
27. So that in all things, as aforesaid: the Unity in Trinity, and the Trinity in Unity, is to be worshiped.
28. He therefore that will be saved, must [let him] thus think of the Trinity.
----------
29. Further more it is necessary to everlasting salvation: that he rightly [faithfully] believe in the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
30. For the right Faith is, that we believe and confess: that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and God and Man;
31. God, of the Substance [Essence] of the Father; begotten before the worlds; and Man, of the Substance of his mother, born in the world.
32. Perfect God; and perfect Man, of a reasonable soul and human flesh subsisting.
33. Equal to the Father, as touching his Godhead; and inferior to the Father as touching his Manhood.
34. Who although he be [is] God and Man; yet he is not two, but one Christ.
35. One; not by conversion of the Godhead into the flesh: but by taking [assumption] of the Manhood into God.
36. One altogether; not by conversion of Substance [Essence]: but by unity of Person.
37. For as the reasonable sould and flesh is one man: so God and Man is one Christ;
38. Who suffered for our salvation: descended into hell [Heded, spirit world]: rose again the third day from the dead.
39. He ascended into heaven, he sitteth at the right hand of the Father God [God the Father] Almighty.
40. From whence [thence] he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
41. At whose coming all men shall rise again with their bodies;
42. And shall give account for their own works.
43. And they that have done good shall go into life everlasting; and they that have done evil, into everlasting fire.
44. This is the Catholic Faith; which except a man believe faithfully [truly and firmly], he cannot be saved.
亞他那修信經要對付的異端：
尼西亞信經和迦克頓信經所要對付的異端的總和。主要是：亞流派、亞波裡那流派、撒伯流派、聶斯托留派和優提克斯派等等。這些異端的錯誤基本上都是在三位一體的層次上。
亞他那修信經可能被解釋成偏差的地方：
未指明未憑信心接受基督作主的人不能真正無私行善以致得救，可被信憑行為得救的人利用。
