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
Revised Standard Version
4 Hence, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that “an idol has no real existence,” and that “there is no God but one.” 5 For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth—as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”— 6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.
