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,born of the Father before all ages;God of God, Light of Light,true God of true God;begotten, not made;consubstantial with the Father,by whom all things were made.Who for us men and for our salvationcame down from heaven,and was incarnate by the Holy Spiritof the Virgin Mary,and was made man.He was crucified also for us,suffered under Pontius Pilate, and was buried.And on the third day he rose againaccording to the Scriptures;and ascended into heaven,and sitteth at the right hand of the Father.And he shall come again with gloryto judge the living and the dead;of whose kingdom there shall be no end.

And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life,who proceedeth from the Father and the Son;who together with the Father and the Sonis adored and glorified;who spoke by the Prophets.And one holy, catholic and apostolic Church.I confess 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.

In Latin

Credo in unum Deum,Patrem omnipotentem,Factorem caeli et terrae,visibilium omnium et invisibilium.

Et in unum Dominum Iesum Christum,Filium Dei unigenitumet ex Patre natum ante omnia saecula:Deum de Deo, Lumen de Lumine,Deum verum de Deo vero,genitum, non factum,consubstantialem Patri:per quem omnia facta sunt;qui propter nos homines et propter nostram salutemdescendit de caelis,et incarnatus est de Spiritu Sanctoex Maria Virgine,et homo factus est,crucifixus etiam pro nobis sub Pontio Pilato,passus et sepultus est,et resurrexit tertia diesecundum Scripturas,et ascendit in caelum,sedet ad dexteram Patris,et iterum venturus est cum gloria,iudicare vivos et mortuos,cuius regni non erit finis.

Credo in Spiritum Sanctum, Dominum et vivificantem,qui ex Patre Filioque procedit,qui cum Patre et Filio simul adoratur et conglorificatur,qui locutus est per prophetas.Et unam sanctam catholicam et apostolicam Ecclesiam.Confiteor unum Baptisma in remissionem peccatorum.Et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum,et vitam venturi saeculi.Amen.
