  18. The Patristic Era: Historical Background THE NICENE CREED For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

  19. The Patristic Era: Historical Background THE NICENE CREED He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

  20. The Patristic Era: Historical Background THE NICENE CREED 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.

  21. The Patristic Era: Historical Background THE NICENE CREED 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.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
