1 Corintios 8:5 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 8:5

For though there be that are called gods
That are so by name, though not by nature; who are called so in Scripture, as angels and magistrates, or by men, who give them such names, and account them so:

whether in heaven;
as the sun, moon, and stars:

or in earth;
as men who formerly lived on earth; or various creatures on earth, who have been accounted deities; or stocks and stones graven by man's device:

as there be gods many:
almost without number, as were among the Egyptians, Grecians, Romans, and others; yea, even among the Jews, who falling into idolatry, their gods were according to the number of their cities, ( Jeremiah 2:28 )

and lords many;
referring to the Baalim, or the several idols that went by the name of Baal, or lord, as Baal Peor, ( Numbers 25:3 ) Baal Zephon, ( Exodus 14:2 ) Baal Zebub, ( 2 Kings 1:2 ) Baal Berith, ( Judges 8:33 ) .

1 Corintios 8:5 In-Context

3 Pero el que ama a Dios es conocido por él.
4 De modo que, en cuanto a comer lo sacrificado a los ídolos, sabemos que un ídolo no es absolutamente nada, y que hay un solo Dios.
5 Pues aunque haya los así llamados dioses, ya sea en el cielo o en la tierra (y por cierto que hay muchos «dioses» y muchos «señores»),
6 para nosotros no hay más que un solo Dios, el Padre, de quien todo procede y para el cual vivimos; y no hay más que un solo Señor, es decir, Jesucristo, por quien todo existe y por medio del cual vivimos.
7 Pero no todos tienen conocimiento de esto. Algunos siguen tan acostumbrados a los ídolos, que cuando comen carne a sabiendas de que ha sido sacrificada a un ídolo, su conciencia se contamina por ser débil.
