| 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 ,
was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary
and became truly human.
For our sake he was crucified 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 have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit , the Lord , the giver of Life ,
who proceeds from the Father [and the Son ],
who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
We believe in one Holy , 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. |
