1 Corinthians 8:3-6

3but if anyone loves God, he 1is known by Him.

4Therefore concerning the eating of 2things sacrificed to idols, we know that 3there is 4no such thing as an idol in the world, and that 5there is no God but one. 5For even if 6there are so-called gods whether in heaven or on earth, as indeed there are many gods and many lords, 6yet for us 7there is but one God, 8the Father, 9from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and 10one Lord, Jesus Christ, 11by whom are all things, and we exist through Him.
