Irenaeus Adv. Haereses Book 1, Part 10
The Church, though dispersed
throughout the whole world,
even to the ends of the earth,
has received from the Apostles & their
Disciples this Faith (Latin: fidei) :
It believes in one God,
the Father Almighty, Maker
of Heaven, Earth, and Sea
and all things that are in them
and in One Christ Jesus,
the Son of God,
who became incarnate for our
salvation
and in the Holy Spirit, who
proclaimed through the Prophets
the dispensations of God
the Advents, the Birth from a Virgin,
the Passion, the Resurrection from
the Dead, and the Ascension into
Heaven in the flesh of the beloved
Christ Jesus, our Lord.
He also proclaimed through the prophets
his future manifestations from heaven in the
glory of the Father to gather all things in
one, and to raise up anew all flesh of the
whole human race . . .
