35 What do you confess when you say: He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary?
35 The eternal Son of God, who is and remains true and eternal God, 1 took upon himself true human nature from the flesh and blood of the virgin Mary, 2 through the working of the Holy Spirit. 3 Thus he is also the true seed of David, 4 and like his brothers in every respect, 5 yet without sin. 6
36 What benefit do you receive from the holy conception and birth of Christ?
36 He is our Mediator, 1 and with his innocence and perfect holiness covers, in the sight of God, my sin, in which I was conceived and born. 2
