The Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed
The Council of Constantinople
What it is
The Nicene confession expanded to state the Spirit's divinity and lordship, and to add clauses on the church, baptism, and the life of the world to come.
Why it lasted
This, not the creed of 325, is what churches actually recite as the Nicene Creed — and the clause about the Spirit's procession later split East from West.
Where to read it
This work is in the public domain and can be read in full, free, at the archives below. The Library catalogues it; it does not host the text.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
