Kehillah in Corinth I 8:5-7
Orthodox Jewish Bible
5 For even if there are [in popular tradition] so-called "g-ds," whether in Shomayim or on ha’aretz, even as there are so-called "g-ds" many and "l-rds" many,
6 Yet in fact for us we have da’as that there is ADONOI ECHAD ("L-rd is One " DEVARIM 6:4), Hashem AV ECHAD L’CHULLANU ("One Father of us all” MALACHI 2:10), from whom are all things, and we exist for Hashem, and there is Adon Echad [MALACHI 3:1], Moshiach Yehoshua [ZECHARYAH 3:8; 6:11-12], through whom are all things and we through him.
7 However, not kol Bnei Adam have this da’as (knowledge). Some are so accustomed to the elil (idol) until now that when they eat, they think of the okhel (food) as being sacrificed to the elil in avodah zarah, and their matzpun (conscience), being weak, is made to be tameh (defiled).

1 Corinthians 8:5-7
English Standard Version
5 For although there may be (A)so-called gods in heaven or on earth—as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”— 6 yet (B)for us there is one God, the Father, (C)from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and (D)one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and (E)through whom we exist.
7 However, not all possess this knowledge. But some, (F)through former association with idols, eat food as really offered to an idol, and (G)their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
