Therefore,
following the holy fathers, we all with one accord teach men to acknowledge one and
the same Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, at once complete in Godhead and complete in
manhood, truly God and truly man, consisting also of a reasonable soul and body;
of one substance with the Father as regards his Godhead, and at the same time of
one substance with us as regards his manhood; like us in all respects, apart from
sin; as regards his Godhead, begotten of the Father before the ages, but yet as regards
his manhood begotten, for us men and for our salvation, of Mary the Virgin, the God-bearer;
one and the same Christ, Son, Lord, Only-begotten, recognized in two natures, without
confusion, without change, without division, without separation; the distinction
of natures being in no way annulled by the union, but rather the characteristics
of each nature being preserved and coming together to form one person and subsistence,
not as parted or separated into two persons, but one and the same Son and Only-begotten
God the Word, Lord Jesus Christ; even as the prophets from earliest times spoke of
him, and our Lord Jesus Christ himself taught us, and the creed of the fathers has
handed down to us.
