The Creed of

St. Gregory Thaumaturgus

(AD 213 - AD 270)

There is one God: Father of the living Logos, subsistent wisdom and power and eternal image; perfect begetter of perfect begotten; Father of the only-begotten Son.

There is one Lord: only from only, God from God, image and likeness of the Godhead; effective Word; wisdom embracing the structure of the universe, and power which makes the entire creation; true Son of true Father; invisible of invisible, and incorruptible of incorruptible, and immortal of immortal, and eternal of eternal.

There is one Holy Spirit: holding existence from God, and made manifest through the Son; perfect image of the perfect Son; life, the cause of living things; holiness, who makes sanctification possible; by whom is made manifest God the Father, who is over all and in all; and God the Son, who is through all.

There is a perfect Trinity: in glory and eternity and sovereignty, neither divided nor estranged.
