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 his Father before all things,

God of God, Light of Light, true God of true God;

begotten, not made;

being of one substance with the Father.

By him all things were made.

For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven.

He was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary, and was made man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate.

He suffered death and was buried.

On the third day he rose again, in fulfillment of the Scriptures.

He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead,

and his kingdom will have no end.

 

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father.

With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified.

He has spoken through the prophets.

We believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.

We acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins.

We look for the resurrection of the dead,

and the life of the world to come. Amen.
