But then, indeed, when ye knew not God, ye served those which by nature are no gods;

concerning, therefore, the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but One.

For, even if there are things called gods, whether in heaven, or on earth (as there are gods many, and lords many);

If He called them gods to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),

Let no one, when tempted, say, "I am tempted from God"; for God cannot be tempted with evils, and He Himself tempteth no one.
