We believe in one God, (Deuteronomy 6.4 – 5, Mark 12.29, 1 Corinthians 8.6 )

the Father Almighty, (Genesis 17.1, Daniel 4.35, Matthew 6.9, Ephesians 4.6, Revelation 1.8 )

maker of heaven and earth, (Genesis 1.1, Isaiah 40.28 , Revelation 10.6)

of all things visible and invisible. (Psalm 148, Romans 11.36, Hebrews 11.3 , Revelation 4.11)

We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not created, of the same essence as the Father, (John 1.1 – 2, 3.16 – 18 , 8.58, 14.9 – 10, 20.28, Colossians 1.15 – 17, Hebrews 1.3 – 6)

Through whom all things were made. (John 1.3, Colossians 1.16 )

Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became human. (Matthew 1.20 – 23, John 1.14, 6.38, Luke 19.10, 1 John 3.8 ) Who for us too was crucified under Pontius Pilate, suffered and was buried. (Matthew 27.1 – 2, Mark 15.24 – 39, 15.43 – 47, Acts 13.29, Romans 5.8, 1 Corinthians 15.3 – 4, Colossians 2.13 – 15 , Hebrews 2.10) The third day he rose again according to the Scriptures, (Mark 16.5 – 7, Luke 24.6 – 8, Acts 1.3, Romans 6.9, 10.9 , 1 Corinthians 15.4 – 6, 2 Timothy 2.8)
