4. But as for the meats that are sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one.
5. For although there be that are called gods, either in heaven or on earth (for there be gods many, and lords many);
6. Yet to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we unto him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
