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 Son of
God, the only begotten, begotten of the Father before all ages, Light of
Light, true God of true God, begotten, not made, of one essence with the
Father, by whom all things were made. Who for us men and for our
salvation came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and
the Virgin Mary, and was made man; and He was crucified for us under
Pontius Pilate, and 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 shall come again with glory to
judge the living and the dead; Whose kingdom shall have no end. And in
the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of life, Who proceeds from the
Father, Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and
glorified; Who spoke by the prophets. In One Holy Catholic and Apostolic
Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins. I look for
the resurrection of the dead, and the Life of the world to come.
Amen †
