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.
