1 Corinthians 8:6

Compare all

4 Therefore concerning the eating of things offered to idols, we know that ^aan idol is nothing in the world, ^band that there is no other God but one.

5 For even if there are ^aso-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords),

6 yet ^afor us there is one God, the Father, ^bof whom are all things, and we for Him; and ^cone Lord Jesus Christ, ^dthrough whom are all things, and ^ethrough whom we live.

7 However, there is not in everyone that knowledge; for some, ^awith consciousness of the idol, until now eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is ^bdefiled.

8 But ^afood does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse.

1 Corinthians 8:6

Yet to us - Christians. There is but one God - This is exclusive, not of the One Lord, as if he were an inferior deity; but only of the idols to which the One God is opposed. From whom are all things - By creation, providence, and grace. And we for him - The end of all we are, have, and do. And one Lord - Equally the object of divine worship. By whom are all things - Created, sustained, and governed. And we by him - Have access to the Father, and all spiritual blessings.
