Glaubst du in Gott, den Vater, Sohn und...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Bischof
 Glaubst du in Gott, den Vater, Sohn und Geist?

Polus 
 Ich glaub' in ihn, der mir den Glauben giebt.

Bischof
 Sagst du dem Teufel ab und seinem Wesen und seinen Werken allen?

Polus
 Ja, mit Gott.

Bischof
 Willst du getauft sein?

Polus
 Herr, mein Gott, ich will es.

Bischof
 So steig' hinab in dieses Wasser.

Chor des Volkes
 Gebet Acht! Gebet Acht! Gebet Acht! Gebet Acht!

Bischof
 Ich taufe dich in Jesu Christi
 Tod zum ewigen Leben in des Vaters Namen,
 des Sohnes, und des heiligen Geistes.
 Nun komm herauf, ein Wiedergeborner!
 Nicht Polus, Paulus sei fortan dein Name.
 Auch du warst Christi Feind, und bist sein Zeuge.
