The Athanasian Creed （主后五世纪）
1. 凡人欲得救，首先当持守大公教会信仰。
2. 此信仰，凡守之不全不正者，必永远沉沦。
3. 大公教会信仰即：我等敬拜一体三位，而三位一体之神。
4. 其位不紊，其体不分。
5. 父一位，子一位，圣灵亦一位。
6. 然而父子圣灵同一神性，同一荣耀，亦同一永恒之尊严。
7. 父如何，子如何，圣灵亦如何。
8. 父不受造，子不受造，圣灵亦不受造。
9. 父无限，子无限，圣灵亦无限。
10. 父永恒，子永恒，圣灵亦永恒。
11. 非三永恒者，乃一永恒者。
12. 非三不受造者，非三无限者，乃一不受造者，一无限者。
13. 如此，父全能，子全能，圣灵亦全能。
14. 然而，非三全能者，乃一全能者。
15. 如是，父是神，子是神，圣灵亦是神。
16. 然而，非三神，乃一神。
17. 如是，父是主，子是主，圣灵亦是主。
18. 然而，非三主，乃一主。
19. 依基督真道，我等不得不认三位均为神，均为主。
20. 依大公教，我等亦不得谓神有三，亦不得谓主有三。
21. 父非由谁作成：既非受造，亦非受生。
22. 子独由于父：非作成，亦非受造；而为受生。
23. 圣灵由于父和子：既非作成，亦非受造，亦非受生；而为发出。
24. 如是，有一父，非三父，有一子，非三子，有一圣灵，非三圣灵。
25. 且此三位无分先后，无别尊卑。
26. 三位乃均永恒，而同等。
27. 由是如前所言，我等当敬拜一体三位，而三位一体之神。
28. 所以凡欲得救者，必如是而思三位一体之神。
29. 再者，为求得永恒救赎，彼亦必笃信我等之主耶稣基督成为人身。
30. 依真正信仰，我等信认神之子我等之主耶稣基督，为神，又为人。
31. 其为神，与圣父同体，受生于诸世界之先；其为人，与其母同体，诞生于此世界。
32. 全神，亦全人，具有理性之灵，血肉之身。
33. 依其为神，与父同等，依其为人，少逊于父。
34. 彼虽为神，亦为人，然非为二，乃为一基督。
35. 彼为一，非由于变神为血肉，乃由于使其人性进入于神。
36. 合为一：非由二性相混，乃由于位格为一。
37. 如灵与身成为一人，神与人成为一基督。
38. 彼为救我等而受难，降至阴间，第三日从死里复活。
39. 升天，作于全能神父之右。
40. 将来必从彼处降临，审判活人死人。
41. 彼降临时，万人必具身体复活；
42. 并供认所行之事。
43. 行善者必入永生，作恶者必入永火。
44. 此乃大公教会之信仰，人除非笃实相信，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.
亚他那修信经要对付的异端：
尼西亚信经和迦克顿信经所要对付的异端的总和。主要是：亚流派、亚波里那流派、撒伯流派、聂斯托留派和优提克斯派等等。这些异端的错误基本上都是在三位一体的层次上。
亚他那修信经可能被解释成偏差的地方：
未指明未凭信心接受基督作主的人不能真正无私行善以致得救，可被信凭行为得救的人利用。
