{No idol is anything in the world} (ouden eid(936c)on en
kosm(9369)). Probably correct translation, though no copula is
expressed. On eid(936c)on (from eidos), old word, see on 涉c
7:41; 15:20; 1Th 1:9|. The idol was a mere picture or symbol of a
god. If the god has no existence, the idol is a non-entity. This
Gentile Christians had come to know as Jews and Jewish Christians
already knew. {No God but one} (oudeis theos ei m(8820)heis). This
Christians held as firmly as Jews. The worship of Jesus as God's
Son and the Holy Spirit does not recognize three Gods, but one
God in three Persons. It was the worship of Mary the Mother of
Jesus that gave Mahomet his cry: "Allah is One." The cosmos, the
ordered universe, can only be ruled by one God ( Ro 1:20 ).
