1 Corinthians 8:5 in Context — 1 Corinthians 8

3 Mas se alguém ama a Deus, o tal dele é conhecido.

4 Portanto, quanto ao comer das coisas sacrificadas aos ídolos: sabemos que o ídolo nada é no mundo, e que não há qualquer outro Deus, a não ser um.

5 Porque, ainda que também haja [alguns] que se chamem deuses, seja no céu, seja na terra (como há muitos deuses e muitos senhores),

6 Todavia para nós há [só] um Deus, o Pai, do qual [são] todas as coisas, e nós para ele; e um [só] Senhor Jesus Cristo, pelo qual [são] todas as coisas, e nós por ele.

7 Mas não há em todos [este] conhecimento; porém alguns até agora comem com consciência do ídolo, como se [fossem] sacrificadas aos ídolos; e sendo sua consciência fraca, fica contaminada.
