The Council declared that the Son was true God, coeternal with the Father and begotten from His same substance, arguing that such a doctrine best codified the Scriptural presentation of the Son as well as traditional Christian belief about him handed down from the Apostles.
O concilio declarou que o Fillo é verdadeiro Deus, coeterno co Pai e xerado da Súa mesma substancia, argumentando que dita doutrina era a que mellor codificaba a presentación que fan as Escrituras do Fillo así como as crenzas tradicionais cristiás sobre El transmitidas polos apóstolos.
