===Latin version===
The Latin version is
<pre>
Credo in Deum, Patrem omnipotentem, Creatorem caeli et terrae.
Et in Iesum Christum, Filium eius unicum, Dominum nostrum:
Qui conceptus est de Spiritu Sancto, natus ex Maria Virgine,
Passus sub Pontio Pilato, crucifixus, mortuus, et sepultus,
Descendit ad inferos, tertia die resurrexit a mortuis
Ascendit ad caelos, sedet ad dexteram Dei Patris omnipotentis,
Inde venturus est iudicare vivos et mortuos.
Credo in Spiritum Sanctum, sanctam Ecclesiam catholicam,
Sanctorum communionem, remissionem peccatorum,
Carnis resurrectionem, vitam aeternam. ''Amen.
