1 Corinthians 8:5
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many so-called gods and lords),
In context
3 But the one who loves God is known by God.
4 So about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that an idol is nothing at all in the world, and that there is no God but one.
5 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many so-called gods and lords),
6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we exist. And there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we exist.
7 But not everyone has this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that they eat such food as if it were sacrificed to an idol. And since their conscience is weak, it is defiled.
