1 Corinthians 8:4-6
New American Standard Bible
4 Therefore, concerning the eating of (A)food sacrificed to idols, we know that an (B)idol is [a]nothing at all in the world, and that (C)there is no God but one. 5 For even if (D)there are so-called gods whether in heaven or on earth, as indeed there are many gods and many lords, 6 yet for us (E)there is only one God, (F)the Father, (G)from whom are all things, and we exist for Him; and (H)one Lord, Jesus Christ, (I)by whom are all things, and we exist through Him.

1 Corinthians 8:4-6
International Standard Version
4 Now concerning eating food offered to idols: We know that no idol is real in this world and that there is only one God. 5 For even if there are “gods” in heaven and on earth (as indeed there are many so-called “gods” and “lords”), 6 yet for us
there is only one God, the Father,
from whom everything came into being
and for whom we live.
And there is only one Lord, Jesus the Messiah,[a]
through whom everything came into being
and through whom we live.
