Jesus saith:—“Let not him who seeks cease until he find and when he
finds he shall be astonished; astonished, he shall reach the
Kingdom, and having reached the Kingdom he shall rest.”
(iii). FROM UNCERTAIN SOURCES (about 200 A.D.)
Jesus saith:—“Except ye fast to the world, ye shall in no wise find
the Kingdom of God; and except ye make the sabbath a real sabbath,
ye shall not see the Father.”
Jesus saith:—“Wherever there are two, they are not without God, and
when ever there is one alone, I say, I am with him. Raise the stone
and there thou shalt find me; cleave the wood, and there am I.”

APPENDIX IV.
THE NICENE CREED.
(pp. 49 and 75).
Here is the text as originally passed by the Council, including the
paragraph against the Arians; additions to the original texts are
enclosed within brackets.
We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of all things, both
visible and invisible.
And in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, begotten of the Father
(only begotten, that is to say of the substance of the Father) God of
God and Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being
of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made (both
things in Heaven and things on Earth); who for us men and for our
salvation came down and was made flesh, made man, suffered and rose
again on the third day, went up into the heavens and is to come again to
judge the quick and the dead;
And in the Holy Ghost;
But the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church anathematises those who say
that there was a time when the Son of God was not, and that he was not
before he was begotten, and that he was made from that which did not
exist; or who assert that he is of other substance or essence than the
Father, or is susceptible of change.
