1 Corinthians 8:5-10 for tho' there are several titular deities, both in heaven and on earth: such as the whole crowd of gods, and lords among the Gentiles;

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ for tho' there are several titular deities, both in heaven and on earth: such as the whole crowd of gods, and lords among the Gentiles; ⁶ yet to us there is but one God, the father, from whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. ⁷ But every one has not this knowledge: for some still imagine the idol represents a deity: and eat the meat under the notion of an offering to such a being: by which erroneous opinion they are infected with idolatry. ⁸ meat does not recommend us to God: if we eat, we are not the better men; if we don't eat, we are not the worse. ⁹ but take care that this liberty of yours does not prove a scandal to the weak. ¹⁰ for if any man see you who have a just notion of idols, sitting at table in their temple, will not the person who is wrong in his notions be incouraged to eat what is offered to idols, tho' contrary to his own opinion?
