Creio em um só Senhor, Jesus Cristo, Filho Unigênito de Deus, nascido do Pai antes de todos os séculos : Deus de Deus, Luz da Luz, Deus verdadeiro de Deus verdadeiro ; gerado, não criado, consubstancial ao Pai. Por Ele todas as coisas foram feitas. E por nós, homens, e para nossa salvação desceu dos Céus. E encarnou pelo Espírito Santo, no seio da Virgem Maria, e Se fez homem. Também por nós foi crucificado sob Pôncio Pilatos ; padeceu e foi sepultado. Ressuscitou ao terceiro dia, conforme as Escrituras ; e subiu aos Céus, onde está sentado à direita do Pai. De novo há-de vir em sua glória, para julgar os vivos e os mortos ; e o seu reino não terá fim. Creio no Espírito Santo, Senhor que dá a vida, e procede do Pai e do Filho ; e com o Pai e o Filho é adorado e glorificado : Ele que falou pelos Profetas. Creio na Igreja una, santa, católica e apostólica. Professo um só batismo para remissão dos pecados. E espero a ressureição dos mortos, e a vida do mundo que há-de vir. Amen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in Being with the Father. Through Him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation He came down from heaven: (All bow at the following words up to : and became man.) by the power of the Holy Spirit He was born of the Virgin Mary and became man. For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate; He suffered, died, and was buried. On the third day He rose again in fulfillment of the Scriptures; He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son He is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.'''
