I 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 Son of God, the Only-Begot­ten,
begot­ten of the Father before all ages;
Light of Light; True God of True God;
begot­ten, not made; of one essence with the Father, by 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 suf­fered, and was buried.
And the third day He arose again, accord­ing to the Scrip­tures,
and 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;
Whose 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 spoke by the prophets.
And in One, Holy, Catholic¹, and Apos­tolic Church.
I acknowl­edge one bap­tism for the remis­sion of sins.
I look for the res­ur­rec­tion of the dead,
and the life of the world to come.

1. We use the term “Catholic” not in ref­er­ence to a denom­i­na­tion, but in its orig­i­nal mean­ing: gen­er­al, uni­ver­sal. There is only one church of Jesus Christ, the fel­low­ship of those who hold to “the faith which was once for all hand­ed down to the saints” (Jude 3). ↩
