1 Corinthians 8:4-6
Christian Standard Bible
4 About eating food sacrificed to idols, then, we know that “an idol is nothing in the world,”[a] and that “there is no God but one.”(A) 5 For even if there are so-called gods,(B) whether in heaven or on earth—as there are many “gods” and many “lords”— 6 yet for us there is one God, the Father.(C) All things are from him,(D) and we exist for him. And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ. All things are through him, and we exist through him.(E)

- 8:4 Or an idol has no real existence
1 Corinthians 8:4-6
New Living Translation
4 So, what about eating meat that has been offered to idols? Well, we all know that an idol is not really a god and that there is only one God. 5 There may be so-called gods both in heaven and on earth, and some people actually worship many gods and many lords. 6 But for us,
There is one God, the Father,
by whom all things were created,
and for whom we live.
And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ,
through whom all things were created,
and through whom we live.
