1 Corinthians 8:4-6
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
4 Therefore concerning the eating of the foods-sacrificed-to-idols— we know that an idol is nothing[a] in the world, and that there is no God except one. 5 For even if-indeed there are ones being called gods, whether in heaven or on earth— as-indeed there are many[b] gods and many lords— 6 yet for us there is One God the Father, from Whom are all things, and we are[c] for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through Whom are all things, and we are through Him.

New International Version
4 So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols:(A) We know that “An idol is nothing at all in the world”(B) and that “There is no God but one.”(C) 5 For even if there are so-called gods,(D) whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”), 6 yet for us there is but one God,(E) the Father,(F) from whom all things came(G) and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord,(H) Jesus Christ, through whom all things came(I) and through whom we live.
