I believe (Romans 10: 8-10; 1 John 4: 15)
in One God (Deuteronomy 6: 4, Ephesians 4: 6)
Father (Matthew 6: 9) 
Almighty, (Exodus 6: 3) 
Creator of heaven and earth, (Genesis 1: 1) 
and of all things visible and invisible; (Colossians 1: 15-16) 
and in one Lord, Jesus Christ, (Acts 11: 17)
the Only-Begotten Son of God, (Matthew 14: 33; 16: 16)
begotten of the Father before all ages; (John 1: 2, John 1: 18; 3: 16 )
Light of Light, (Psalm 27: I; John 8: 12; Matthew 17: 2,5) 
true God of true God, (John 17: 1-5) 
begotten,  not created, (John 3:16) 
of one essence with the Father, 
through Whom all things were made; (John 1:10, Hebrews 1: 1-2)
Who for us men and for our salvation (I Timothy 2: 4-5)
came down from heaven (John 6: 33, 35) 
and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, (Luke 1: 35) 
and became man. (John 1: 14)
He was crucified for us (Mark 15: 25; I Corinthians 15: 3) 
under Pontius Pilate, (John 1: 14) 
and suffered, (Mark 8: 31)
and was buried; (Luke 23: 53; I Corinthians 15: 4)
And He rose on the third day according to the Scriptures, 
 (Luke 24: 1; 1 Cor. 15: 4) 
He ascended into heaven, (Luke 24: 51; Acts 1: 10)
and is seated at the right hand of the Father; 
 (Mark 16: 19; Acts 7: 55)
And He will come again with glory (Matthew 24: 27) 
to judge the living and the dead, (Acts 10: 42; 2 Timothy 4: 1) 
His kingdom shall have no end; (2 Peter 1: 11)

And in the Holy Spirit, (John 14: 26) 
the Lord (Acts 5: 3-4) 
the Creator of life, (Genesis 1: 2) 
Who proceeds from the Father, (John 15: 26)   
Who together with the Father and the Son is
 worshipped and glorified, 
(Matthew 3: 16-17) 
Who spoke through the prophets; 
(I Samuel 19: 20; Ezekiel 11: 5, 13)

In one, (Matthew 16: 18) 
holy, (I Peter 2: 5, 9) 
catholic (Mark 16: 15) 
and apostolic Church; (Acts 2: 42; Ephesians 2: 19-22)
I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins; 
 (Ephesians 4: 5, Acts 2:38)
I look for the resurrection of the dead;
 
(John 11: 24; I Cor. 15: 12-49) 
and the life of the age to come. (Mark 10: 29-30)
Amen. (Psalm 106:48)
