The Nicene Creed

We believe in one God,
      the Father, the Almighty,
      maker of heaven and earth,
      of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
      the only Son of God,
      eternally begotten of the Father,
           God from God,
           Light from Light,
           true God from true God,
      begotten, not made;
      of one being with the Father.
      Through him all things were made.
      For us and for our salvation
           he came down from heaven:
           by the power of the Holy Spirit
           he became incarnate from
           the Virgin Mary,
           and was made man.
           For our sake he was crucified for us
           under Pontius Pilate;
           he suffered death and was buried.
           On the third day he rose again
           in accordance with the Scriptures;
           He ascended into heaven
           and is seated at the right hand
           of the Father.
           He will come again in glory
           to judge the living and the dead,
           and his kingdom will never end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit,
      the Lord, the giver of life,
      who proceeds from the Father [and the Son].
      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
      forgiveness of sins.
      We look for the resurrection of the dead,
      and the life of the world to come. Amen.
