The Nicene Creed
An orthodox creed on the Trinity
and the Son.
Circa 381 A.D.
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 Life, 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.
