Nicene Creed

“We 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 alone-born Son of God; begotten of his Father before all ages, 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 of the Holy Ghost and 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 we believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord, the giver of life.  Who proceeded from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified, who spake by the prophets.  And we believe one holy catholic and apostolic church.  We  acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins.  And we look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.”
