THE NICENE-CONSTANTINOPOLITAN CREED
I believed in one God, Father Almighty, Maker of all things visible and
invisible.
And in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, begotten of the
Father before all ages.
Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten, not made, of one essence
were made
Who for us all and for our Salvation came down from heaven, and was
incarnate of the Holy Spirit and of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
Crucified for our salvation under Pontius Pilate, He suffered and was
buried.
And on the third day He rose according to the Scriptures.
And ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the
Father.
And He shall come again in glory to judge the living and the dead; Whose
Kingdom shall have no end.
And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Lord, the Giver of Life, Who
proceeds from the Father, Who together with the Father and the Son is worshipped
and glorified; Who spoke through the prophets.
I believe in one, Holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins.
I await the resurrection of the dead.
And the life of the age to come. Amen.
