# General Information:
|
|
|
|
"We" and "us" here refers to all believers. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-inclusive]])
|

|
# We know that an idol in this world is nothing and that there is no God but one
|
|
|
|
Paul is probably quoting phrases that some Corinthians used. Being "nothing" represents having no power. AT: "We all know, as you yourselves like to say, that an idol in this world has no power and that there is no God but one" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# so-called gods
|
|
|
|
"things that people call gods"
|
|
|
|
# many "gods" and many "lords."
|
|
|
|
Paul does not believe that many gods and many lords exist, but he recognizes that the pagans believe they do.
