|
The Greek and Latin texts of the "Nicene" creed are given below with an English translation. Elsewhere on the Early Church Texts website (click here) the Latin and Greek texts below have links to online dictionaries and more information about where the texts are taken from. There is also a subscription version of the Early Church Texts Website which is like an electronic encyclopedia of the first five centuries of Church History, with extensive links to information on around 700 people and themes, and around 230 Church Councils. The subscription version of the site has an introduction to each of its many texts making it much easier to appreciate their context and significance, together with helpful background notes linked with the text, carefully prepared printable versions (around 1,700 pages in total) and many other helpful features. New texts are regularly added to the site. Try out the feature rich subscription version of the Early Church Texts website for just $5 for a trial period or $30 for a year. Click here for more information. Check out the video demo of the site.

Πιστεύομεν εἰς ἕνα Θεὸν Πατέρα παντοκράτορα |
We 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, begotten from the Father before all ages, light from light, true God from true God, begotten not made, of one substance with the Father, through Whom all things came into existence, Who because of us men and because of our salvation came down from the heavens, and was incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became man, and was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried, and rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures and ascended to heaven, and sits on the right hand of the Father, and will come again with glory to judge living and dead, of Whose kingdom there will be no end; And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and life-giver, Who proceeds from the Father, Who with the Father and the Son is together worshipped and together glorified, Who spoke through the prophets; in one holy Catholic and apostolic Church. We confess one baptism to the remission of sins; we look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen |
