We believe in one God, the Father Almighty maker of all things, visible and invisible, and in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the only begotten Son of the Father, that is, of the Substance of the Father, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made being of one Substance with the Father, by whom all things were made, both the things in Heaven, and the things in Earth; who for us Men, and for our Salvation, came down and was incarnate, he was made Man, he suffered and arose the third Day, he ascended into the Heaven, he shall come to judg both the quick and the dead; And we believe in the Holy Ghost. Therefore they which say there was a time when he was not, before he was begotten; or that he had this Beginning of nothing; or that he is of another Substance, or Essence, or that affirm the Son of God to be made, or to be convertible or mutable, these the Catholick and Apostolick Churches of God doth pronounce for accursed.
