== The Nicene Creed == | |||
<poem>I believe in one God, | |||
the Father almighty, | |||
maker of heaven and earth, | |||
of all things visible and invisible. | |||
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, | |||
the Only Begotten Son of God, | |||
born of the Father before all ages. | |||
God from God, Light from Light, | |||
true God from true God, | |||
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; | |||
through him all things were made. | |||
For us men and for our salvation | |||
he came down from heaven, | |||
At the words that follow up to and including | |||
and became man, all bow. | |||
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, | |||
and became man. | |||
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, | |||
he suffered death and was buried, | |||
and rose again on the third day | |||
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. | |||
I 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 adored and glorified, | |||
who has spoken through the prophets. | |||
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. | |||
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins | |||
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead | |||
and the life of the world to come. Amen. | |||
