The Nicene Creed
We believe in one God,
The Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth
and of all things visible and invisible.
We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the only Begotten Son of God,
Begotten of the Father before all ages,
God from God, Light from Light, True God from True God,
Begotten not created, of the same essence as the Father,
through Whom all things were made.
Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven
and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the virgin mary
and became human.
Who for us too, was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
suffered and was buried.
The third day He rose again according to the scriptures,
ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the
dead,
and His kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and life-giver,
Who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
Who together with the Father and Son
is worshiped and glorified.
Who spoke by the prophets.
We believe in one holy, catholic, and apostolic church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sin,
and we look for the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the age to come. Amen.
