I believe in God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth.

And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord;
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried;
he descended to the dead.*
The third day he rose again from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.

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 worlds;
God of God, Light of Light,
very God of very God;
begotten, not made,
being of one substance with the Father;
by whom all things were made.

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

And we believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord and Giver of Life,
who proceedeth from the Father and the son;
who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified;
who spake by the prophets.

And we believe one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins.
And we look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Whoever desires to be saved should above all hold to the catholic faith.
Anyone who does not keep it whole and unbroken will doubtless perish eternally.

Now this is the catholic faith:
that we worship one God in Trinity and the Trinity in Unity,
neither confusing the persons nor dividing the divine being.

For the Father is one person, the Son is another, and the Holy Spirit is another.
But the deity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is one, equal in glory, coeternal in majesty.

What the Father is, the Son is, and so is the Holy Spirit.
The Father is uncreated, the Son is uncreated, the Holy Spirit is uncreated.
The Father is infinite, the Son is infinite, the Holy Spirit is infinite.
The Father is eternal, the Son is eternal, the Holy Spirit is eternal.
And yet there are not three eternal beings, but one who is eternal;
as there are not three uncreated and unlimited beings, but one who is uncreated and unlimited.

The Father is almighty, the Son almighty, the Holy Spirit almighty.
And yet there are not three almighties, but one Almighty.

Thus the Father is God, the Son is God, the Holy Spirit is God;
and yet there are not three Gods, but one God.
Thus the Father is Lord, the Son is Lord, the Holy Spirit is Lord;
and yet there are not three Lords, but one Lord.

For just as Christian truth compels us to confess each person individually to be both God and Lord,
so the catholic religion forbids us to say that there are three Gods or Lords.

The Father was neither made nor created nor begotten;
the Son was neither made nor created, but was alone begotten of the Father;
the Holy Spirit was neither made nor created nor begotten, but proceeds from the Father and the Son.

Accordingly there is one Father, not three Fathers;
one Son, not three Sons;
one Holy Spirit, not three Holy Spirits.

None in this Trinity is before or after,
none is greater or smaller;
in their entirety the three persons are coeternal and coequal with each other.
So in everything, as was said earlier, the unity in Trinity and the Trinity in unity is to be worshiped.
Therefore anyone who desires to be saved should think thus about the Trinity.

But it is necessary for eternal salvation that one also faithfully believe that our Lord Jesus Christ became flesh.
For this is the true faith that we believe and confess:
that our Lord Jesus Christ, God’s Son, is both God and man.

He is God, begotten before all worlds from the being of the Father,
and he is man, born in the world from the being of his mother—
existing fully as God and fully as man with a rational soul and a human body;
equal to the Father in divinity,
subordinate to the Father in humanity.

Although he is God and man,
he is not divided but is one Christ.
He is united because God has taken humanity into himself;
he does not transform deity into humanity.
He is completely one in the unity of his person,
without confusing his natures.

For as the rational soul and body are one person,
so the one Christ is God and man.

He suffered for our salvation,
descended to the dead,
rose again the third day from the dead.
He ascended to heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
he will come to judge the living and the dead.
At his coming all people will rise again with their bodies
and give an account concerning their own deeds.

Those who have done good will enter into eternal life,
and those who have done evil into eternal fire.

This is the catholic faith:
one cannot be saved without believing it firmly and faithfully.

Therefore, following the holy fathers,
we all with one accord teach men to acknowledge
one and the same Son, our Lord Jesus Christ,
at once complete in Godhead and complete in manhood,
truly God and truly man,
consisting also of a reasonable soul and body;
of one substance (homoousios) with the Father as regards his Godhead,
and at the same time of one substance with us as regards his manhood;
like us in all respects, apart from sin;
as regards his Godhead, begotten of the Father before the ages,
but yet as regards his manhood begotten,
for us men and for our salvation,
of Mary the Virgin, the God-bearer (Theotokos);

one and the same Christ, Son, Lord, Only-begotten,
recognized in two natures,
without confusion,
without change,
without division,
without separation;
the distinction of natures being in no way annulled by the union,
but rather the characteristics of each nature being preserved
and coming together to form one person and subsistence,
not as parted or separated into two persons,
but one and the same Son and Only-begotten God the Word,
Lord Jesus Christ;

even as the prophets from earliest times spoke of him,
and our Lord Jesus Christ himself taught us,
and the Creed of the fathers has handed down to us.
