Chalcedonian Creed (written in 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 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 taught us, and the Creed of the holy Fathers has handed
down to us.
