1 Corinthians 8:6

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.

Verse 5 Read Chapter 8 Verse 7

Ambrose of Milan

AD 397

When he says “through him,” did he deny that all things were made in him, through whom he says that all things are? These words, “in him” and “with him,” have this force, that by these is understood one and the same reality, not something contrary… Scripture bears witness that these three phrases—“with him,” and “through him,” and “in him”—are one in Christ.

Ambrose of Milan

AD 397

It is written: “Go baptize the nations in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” “In the name,” he said, not “in the names.” So there is not one name for the Father, another name for the Son, and another name for the Holy Spirit, because there is one God, not several names, because there are not two gods, not three gods.

AD 1849

To us there is but one God, the Father; of whom all things, and we unto him. Of or from the Father are all things, even the eternal Son and the Holy Spirit, though they are one and the same God with the Father. And one Lord Jesus Christ: by whom are all things, and we by him. All things were created by the Son of God, the eternal and uncreated wisdom of the Father, from whom he proceeds from eternity, and also by the Holy Spirit, all creatures being equally the work of the three divine persons. The Arians and Socinians pretend from this place, that only the Father is truly and properly God. The Catholics answer, that he is called the God, of whom all, because from him always proceeded, do proceed, and shall always proceed the Son and the Holy Spirit, though one and the same God in nature, substance And that when he is called the one God, by these words are excluded the false gods of the heathens, not the Son, and the Holy Spirit, who are but one God with the Father.

For Paul addresses the Father as one in respect of divinity, and speaks of the Son as one in respect of lordship: "There is one God the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by Him."

The Father is one, just as the Son is one. If the Son is called Lord, that does not make the Father any less Lord, just as when it is said that God the Father is one, the Son is no less God. .

Tertullian of Carthage

AD 220

Marcion, however, does not say that the Creator is not God; so that the apostle can hardly be thought to have ranked the Creator amongst those who are called gods, without being so; since, even if they had been gods, "to us there is but one God, the Father."
