What believest thou concerning the "holy catholic church" of Christ?
That the Son of God1 from the beginning to the end of the world,2 gathers, defends, and preserves3 to himself by his Spirit and word,4 out of the whole human race,5 a church chosen to everlasting life,6 agreeing in true faith;7 and that I am and forever shall remain,8 a living member thereof.9
6 Rom. 8:29, 30; Eph. 1:10-13.
