1 Corinthians 8:4-6

Knowledge, Love, and the Weak Brother in a World of Idols

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

4So about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that an idol is nothing at all in the world, and that there is no God but one.

5For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many so-called gods and lords),

6yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we exist. And there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we exist.
