The Nicene Creed
I believe in one God, the Father
Almighty, maker of heaven and earth,
and of all things visible and invisible;
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only
begotten Son of God, begotten of his
Father before all worlds, God of God,
Light of Light, very God of very God,
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
heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy
Ghost 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 Scriptures, and ascended
into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand
of the Father;
and he shall come again, with glory, to judge both
the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have
no end. And I believe in the Holy Ghost the Lord,
and Giver of Live, who proceedeth from the
Father [and the Son]; who with the Father and the
Son together is worshipped and glorified; who
spake by the Prophets. And I believe one holy
Catholic and Apostolic Church; I acknowledge
one baptism for the remission of sins; and I look
for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the
world to come. AMEN.
