The Nicene Creed

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 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 sits on the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.

And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets.

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

On the Trinity: The Athanasian Creed

Chalcedonian Creed

We, then, following the holy Fathers, all with one

consent, teach men to confess one and the same Son,

our Lord Jesus Christ, the same perfect in Godhead

and also perfect in manhood; truly God and truly

man, of a reasonable soul and

body; consubstantial with the Father according to the Godhead, and

consubstantial with us according to the Manhood; in

all things like unto us, without sin; begotten before

all ages of the Father according to the Godhead, and

in these latter days, for us and for our salvation, born

of the Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, according to

the Manhood; one and the same Christ, Son, Lord,

only begotten, to be acknowledged in two natures,

unconfusedly, unchangeably, indivisibly,

inseparably; the distinction of natures being by no

means taken away by the union, but rather the

property of each nature being preserved, and

concurring in one Person and one Subsistence, not

parted or divided into two persons, but one and the

same Son, and only begotten, God the Word, the

Lord Jesus Christ; as the prophets from the beginning

have declared concerning Him, and the Lord Jesus

Christ Himself has taught us, and the Creed of the

holy Fathers has handed down to us.
