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
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
Scriptures, 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
and the dead, 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 glorified, 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 life of the
world to come.
Amen.
