1 Corinthians 8:4
Douay-Rheims
But as for the meats that are sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one.
Francis Patrick Kenrick
This seems directed to meet the objection, that an idol was a fiction of fancy. The apostle admits that all Christians know this ; but he combats the inference drawn by some in favour of the indiscriminate use of meats offered in sacrifice.
