The Symbol of Faith (Nicene Creed)

I believe in one God, Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible;
And in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Only-begotten, begotten of the Father before all the ages; Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten, not made; one essence with the Father; by Whom all things were made;
Who for us men, and for our salvation, came down from the Heavens and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became man;
And was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried;
And arose on the third day according to the Scriptures;
And ascended into the Heavens and is seated at the right hand of the Father;
And shall come again, with glory, to judge both the living and the dead: Whose Kingdom shall have no end;
And in the Spirit, the Holy, the Lord, the Giver of Life, Who proceeds from the Father; Who together with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified; Who spoke by the prophets.
In One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.
I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
I look for the resurrection of the dead,
And the life of the coming age. Amen.

The Nicene Creed as used by the Orthodox Church was finalised in the Second Ecumenical Council held in Constantinople in 381 AD. The Creed is similar to that of the same name used by western confessions except the Orthodox Church never included the clause 'and the Son' after 'proceeds from the Father' as is written in western versions of the Creed. This clause was not in the original Creed of 381 AD but was introduced into western creeds gradually from at least the sixth Century. This inclusion was strongly opposed by the Eastern Churches in the ninth Century and it was one of the key theological disputes that led to the separation of Eastern and Western Churches in the eleventh Century. It remains today an unresolved dispute between the Orthodox Church and the western confesssions, especially the Roman Catholic Church.
