But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
But for us, there's only one God, the Father, who made everything and we belong to him. And there's one Lord, Jesus Christ, who created everything and we exist because of him.
One God who made it all, one Lord who holds it all together, and that includes you.
📚 Historical Context
In the first century, the city of Corinth was a major center of Greek culture and pagan worship, where people commonly believed in and honored multiple gods and idols, which influenced daily life and social practices. Paul wrote his letter to the Corinthian church to address various issues, including debates over eating food sacrificed to idols, urging believers to prioritize their faith in the one true God. In this verse, Paul reinforces the Christian monotheistic view, contrasting it with the surrounding polytheistic culture to unify the church.
