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.
