The
Chalcedonian Creed
(A.D. 451)
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, inconfusedly,
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.
