The Nicene Creed of A.D. 325 (in Greek)
English Translation:
We believe in one God, the Father Almighty,
Maker of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God,
begotten of the Father the only-begotten; that
is, of the essence of the Father, 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 both in
heaven and on earth; who for us men, and for our
salvation, came down and was incarnate and was
made man; he suffered, and the third day he rose
again, ascended into heaven; from thence he
shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
And in the Holy Ghost.
But those who say: 'There was a time when he was
not;' and 'He was not before he was made;' and
'He was made out of nothing,' or 'He is of
another substance' or 'essence,' or 'The Son of
God is created,' or 'changeable,' or 'alterable'
— they are condemned by the holy catholic and
apostolic Church. |
