"Are there not," replied Jesus, "these words in your Law--'I said "Ye are gods"'?

If those to whom God's word were addressed were said to be 'gods'--and Scripture cannot be set aside--

While they said to Aaron--'Make us Gods who will lead the way for us, since, as for this Moses who has brought us out of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.'

And the crowd, seeing what Paul had done, called out in the Lycaonian language: "The Gods have made themselves like men and have come down to us."

And you see and hear that not only at Ephesus, but in almost the whole of Roman Asia, this Paul has convinced and won over great numbers of people, by his assertion that those Gods which are made by hands are not Gods at all.

Even supposing that there are so-called 'gods' either in Heaven or on earth-and there are many such 'gods' and 'lords'-

Yet formerly, in your ignorance of God, you became slaves to 'gods' which were no gods.
