I’m trying my hand at a Gothic translation of the Creed of Constantinople of 360.

Anyway, not at all skilled, and working from English and Latin rather than Greek, and I’m uncertain about some things:

Galaubjan +du +dative for “believe in” and “credere +in” - the Gospel of John seems to use the same construction.

Alwaldands for “almighty” and “omnipotens” - the Gothic and English words don’t mean the same thing.

fram þammei ??? sind. for “of whom are all things” and “ex quo sunt omnia” - what is the Gothic for everything, should it be in the nominative or dative, and should it be before or after the verb?

Aso, I expect trouble translating “begotten,” “according to the scriptures,” “as it is written,” etc. At least this one doesn’t involve “ousia”!

Any suggestions?
