1 Corinthians 8:5 Douay-Rheims

For although there be that are called gods, either in heaven or on earth (for there be gods many, and lords many).

Tertullian

c. A.D. 150–220 Patristic

For "although there be that are called gods" in name, "whether in heaven or in earth, yet to us there is but one God the Father, of whom are all things; " whence the greater reason why, in our view, that which is the property of God ought to be regarded as pertaining to God alone, and why (as I have already said) that should cease to be such a property, when it is shared by another being.
