THE SYMBOL OF THE FAITH (CREDO)

We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and 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, God of God, Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten, not made, of one essence with the Father. Through whom all things were made. Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became man. And He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and was buried. And on the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father. And He shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead, and his Kingdom shall have no end.

And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life, who proceeds from the Father; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who has spoken through the prophets.

And in one Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. We confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.

Amen.
