Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, you are gods'?

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

saying to Aaron, 'Make for us gods who will go before us; as for this Moses who led us out from the land of Egyptwe do not know what has happened to him.'

And when the crowds saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the Lycaonian language, "The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!"

And you see and hear that not only in Ephesus, but in almost all of Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away a considerable number of people, saying that gods made with hands are no gods at all.

For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many "gods" and many "lords"),

Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those which by nature are no gods.
