The Father and the Son
The confession of faith in the one God the Father and the eternal Son.
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Creator 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 from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one essence with the Father, through whom all things were made.
The Work of Salvation
The narrative of Christ's incarnation, passion, resurrection, ascension, and future return.
For us and for our salvation, he came down from heaven, was incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became human. And he was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, suffered, and was buried. He rose again on the third day, in accordance with 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.
The Holy Spirit and the Church
The confession of the Holy Spirit's divinity and the nature of the Church.
And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life, who proceeds from the Father, who is worshiped and glorified together with the Father and the Son, and who spoke through the prophets. In one holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.1
The Hope of Eternal Life
The promise of forgiveness, the resurrection, and the life of the world to come.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins. I look forward to the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Ве́рую во еди́наго Бо́га Отца́, Вседержи́теля, Творца́ не́бу и земли́, ви́димым же всем и неви́димым.
И во еди́наго Го́спода Иису́са Христа́, Сы́на Бо́жия, Единоро́днаго, И́же от Отца́ рожде́ннаго пре́жде всех век; Све́та от Све́та, Бо́га и́стинна от Бо́га и́стинна, рожде́нна, несотворе́нна, единосу́щна Отцу́, И́мже вся бы́ша.
Нас ра́ди челове́к и на́шего ра́ди спасе́ния сше́дшаго с небе́с и воплоти́вшагося от Ду́ха Свя́та и Мари́и Де́вы и вочелове́чшася.
Распя́таго же за ны при Понти́йстем Пила́те, и страда́вша, и погребе́нна.
И воскре́сшаго в тре́тий день по Писа́нием.
И возше́дшаго на небеса́, и седя́ща одесну́ю Отца́.
И па́ки гряду́щаго со сла́вою суди́ти живы́м и ме́ртвым, Его́же Ца́рствию не бу́дет конца́.
И в Ду́ха Свята́го, Го́спода, Животворя́щаго, И́же от Отца́ исходя́щаго, И́же со Отце́м и Сы́ном спокланя́ема и ссла́вима, глаго́лавшаго проро́ки.
Во еди́ну Святу́ю, Собо́рную и Апо́стольскую Це́рковь.
Испове́дую еди́но креще́ние во оставле́ние грехо́в.
Ча́ю воскресе́ния ме́ртвых,
и жи́зни бу́дущаго ве́ка. Ами́нь.
