The Nicene Creed

Text

We believe in one God[a], the Father Almighty[b], Maker of heaven and earth[c], and of all things visible and invisible[d].

And in one Lord Jesus Christ[e], the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds[f]; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made[g], being of one substance with the Father[h], by whom all things were made[i].

Who, for us men and for our salvation, came down from heaven[j], and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man[k]; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate[l]; He suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures[m]; and ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of the Father[n]; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.[o]

And we believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life[p]; who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets[q].

And we believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.[r] We acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins[s]; and we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.[t]
