begotten, not made,

being of one substance with the Father,

by whom all things were made;

who for us men and for our salvation came down from hea

and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary

and was made man;

and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate.

He suffered and was buried.

And the third day He rose again according to the Scripture

and ascended into heaven

and sits at the right hand of the Father.

And He will come again with glory to judge both the living

whose kingdom will have no end.

And I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the Lord and giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father and the Son,

who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and

who spoke by the prophets.

And I believe in one holy Christian and apostolic Church,

I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins,

and I look for the resurrection of the dead

and the lifeTTTT of the world to come. Amen
