⁶ “And ^(D)these words which I command you today shall be in your heart.

³ And ^(A)this is eternal life, that they may know You, ^(B)the only true God, and Jesus Christ ^(C)whom You have sent.

⁴ Therefore concerning the eating of things offered to idols, we know that ^(A)an idol is nothing in the world, ^(B)and that there is no other God but one. ⁵ For even if there are ^(C)so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords), ⁶ yet ^(D)for us there is one God, the Father, ^(E)of whom are all things, and we for Him; and ^(F)one Lord Jesus Christ, ^(G)through whom are all things, and ^(H)through whom we live.

³² So the scribe said to Him, “Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, ^(A)and there is no other but He. ³³ And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, ^[a]with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, ^(B)is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

²⁰ Now a mediator does not mediate for one only, ^(A)but God is one.

¹⁵ Then Hezekiah prayed before the Lord, and said: “O Lord God of Israel, the One ^(A)who dwells between the cherubim, ^(B)You are God, You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.
