The Nicene Creed
I believe in one God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and
earth, and in 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 crucified
also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried, 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 living and the dead; Whose
kingdom shall have no end.
And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who
proceedith from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the
Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the
prophets.
