“Credo in unum Deum, Patrem omnipotentem, Factorem cœli et terræ,
visibilium omnium et invisibilium. Et in unum Dominum Jesum Christum,
Filium Dei unigenitum. Et ex Patre natum, ante omnia sæcula. 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 salutem, descendit de cœlis. Et incarnatus est
de Spiritu Sancto ex Maria Virgine; ET HOMO FACTUS EST: crucifixus etiam
pro nobis sub Pontio Pilato, passus, et sepultus est. Et resurrexit tertia
die, secundum Scripturas. Et ascendit in cœlum, sedet ad dexteram Patris.
Et iterum venturus est cum gloria judicare vivos et mortuos: cujus regni
non erit finis. Et 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 expecto resurrectionem mortuorum. Et vitam
venturi sæculi. Amen.”
Translation.
“I believe in one God, the Father almighty, Maker of heaven and
earth, of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus
Christ, the only-begotten Son of God. And born of the Father,
before all ages. God of God, Light of Light, true God of true God,
begotten, not made; consubstantial to the Father, by whom all
things were made. Who for us men, and for our salvation, came down
from heaven. And was incarnated by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin
Mary; AND HE WAS MADE MAN: was crucified also under Pontius
Pilate; he suffered, and was buried. And the third day he rose
again, according to the Scriptures. And he ascended into heaven.
Sits at the right hand of the Father. And he is to come again with
glory to judge the living and the dead; of whose kingdom there
shall be no end. And in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of
Life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who, together with
the Father and the Son, is adored and glorified; who spoke by the
Prophets. And One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolical 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.”
This Creed was adopted at Constantinople, A. D. 381. It is used in the
Protestant Episcopal churches in England, and occasionally in those of the
United States.
