...namely, that there is one God and one Lord Jesus Christ. But the gods of the Gentiles, and indeed even the angels in heaven and the magistrates on earth, are only "so-called Gods" Greek text: "θεοὺς λεγομένους", who either enjoy the name only in name or are to be called Gods only by a certain participation of divine majesty, but by no means have the divine essence itself in common with the one supreme God and his Son Jesus Christ. Hence the same Paul, in his Epistle to the Galatians, Chap. IV, v. 8, expresses this judgment of his concerning the divine worship of the Gentiles: "But then indeed, not knowing God, you served those who by nature are not Gods." And thus, in the mind of the Apostle, all and individual "so-called Gods," who are not Gods by nature and by essence, are excluded in this passage not only from the highest, but from all Divinity; not from the highest, but from all religious worship—which the descriptions of the one God and Lord confirm. For if there were any other intermediate or subordinate gods, such as the Gentile philosophers rashly imagined, from the one God, "from whom are all things," all things would exist through their mediation, or at least some things. And if there were any intermediate or subordinate lords, through the one Lord, "through whom are all things," all things would exist through their intervention, or at least some. For they would be participants in some way of Divinity and Domination, the rationales of which the Apostle explains in such a way that neither can have a place; since, whether you look at the old or the new creation, through which all things are said to have been made, it is in no way attributed in Holy Scripture to angels, or to magistrates, or to the gods of the Gentiles. In like manner, the Apostle also explains the homonymy of the word "Lord" while he opposes it to the "so-called lords," and understands that one true God and Lord, through whom all things were made. Although indeed it was customary among the Gentiles to call their gods, and especially Jupiter, "Lord."
