45. Whoever wishes to be saved must, above all else, hold to the true Christian faith. Whoever does not keep this faith pure in all points will certainly perish forever. Athanasian Creed

46. Now this is the true Christian faith: We worship one God in three persons and three persons in one God, without mixing the persons or dividing the divine being. Athanasian Creed

54. For just as Christian truth compels us to confess each person individually to be God and Lord, so the true Christian faith forbids us to speak of three Gods or three Lords. Athanasian Creed

56. The Holy Spirit is neither made nor created, nor begotten, but proceeds from the Father and the Son. Athanasian Creed

57. So there is one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons; one Holy Spirit, not three Holy Spirits. Athanasian Creed

58. And within this Trinity none comes before or after; none is greater or inferior, but all three persons are coequal and coeternal, so that, in every way, as stated before, Athanasian Creed
