All: Verím v jedného Boha, Otca všemohúceho, Stvoriteľa neba i zeme, sveta viditeľného i neviditeľného. Verím v jedného Pána Ježiša Krista, jednorodeného Syna Božieho, zrodeného z Otca pred všetkými vekmi; Boha z Boha, Svetlo zo Svetla, pravého Boha z Boha pravého, splodeného, nie stvoreného, jednej podstaty s Otcom, skrze neho bolo všetko stvorené. On pre nás ľudí a pre našu spásu zostúpil z nebies. A mocou Ducha Svätého vzal si telo z Márie Panny a stal sa človekom. Za nás bol aj ukrižovaný za vlády Poncia Piláta, bol umučený a pochovaný, ale tretieho dňa vstal z mŕtvych podľa Svätého písma. A vystúpil do neba, sedí po pravici Otca. A znova príde v sláve súdiť živých i mŕtvych a jeho kráľovstvu nebude konca. Verím v Ducha Svätého, Pána a Oživovateľa, ktorý vychádza z Otca i Syna. Jemu sa zároveň s Otcom a Synom vzdáva poklona a sláva. On hovoril skrze prorokov. Verím v jednu, svätú, katolícku a apoštolskú Cirkev. Vyznávam jeden krst na odpustenie hriechov. A očakávam vzkriesenie mŕtvych a život budúceho veku. Amen.
