ABSTRACT

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of all things both visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, begotten from the Father, only-begotten, that is, from the substance of the Father, God from God, light from light, true God from true God, begotten not made, of the same substance with the Father, through Whom all things came into being, both those in heaven and those on earth, Who because of us men and because of our salvation came down and became flesh, became man, suffered, and rose again on the third day,

ascended to the heavens, coming to judge the living and the dead. And in the Holy Spirit. But as for those who say, that there was when He was not, and that before He was born He was not, and that He came into existence out of nothing, or who say that He is of a different hypostasis or substance, or that the Son of God is subject to alteration or change, these the catholic and apostolic Church anathematizes.
