Now concerning eating food offered to idols: We know that no idol is real in this world and that there is only one God. For even if there are “gods” in heaven and on earth (as indeed there are many so-called “gods” and “lords”), yet for us

And there is only one Lord, Jesus the Messiah,[a]
    through whom everything came into being
        and through whom we live.
