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.
Tertullian
He introduces his discussion about meats offered to idols with a statement concerning idols (themselves): "We know that an idol is nothing in the world." Marcion, however, does not say that the Creator is not God; so that the apostle can hardly be thought to have ranked the Creator amongst those who are called gods, without being so; since, even if they had been gods, "to us there is but one God, the Father.
