The "Nicene-Constantinopolitan"1 Creed

86. We believe in one God, Father omnipotent, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages, light of light, true God of true God, begotten not made, consubstantial with the Father, by whom all things were made, who for us men and for our salvation came down and was made flesh by the Holy Spirit and of the Virgin Mary, and became man, and was crucified for us by Pontius Pilate, suffered, and was buried and arose again the third day, according to the Scripture, and ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father, and is coming again with glory to judge the living and the dead;

Those words which are enclosed in brackets show the liturgical text almost as it was prepared by St. Paulinus, Rech. de théol. anc. et méd. 1 [1929] 7 ff. (B. Capelle). ↩
