NASB © biblegateway 1Co 8:6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father , from whom are all things and we exist for Him ; and one Lord, Jesus Christ , by whom are all things , and we exist through Him. one God, the Father from whom are all things (the source) we exist for Him one Lord, Jesus Christ by whom are all things (the expression, the channel) we exist through Him This is the proper understanding.
