35. Q.

What do you confess when you say:
He was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the virgin Mary?
A.
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
