For Christians the only inspired scriptures are those writings which together comprise the '''[[Bible]]'''.{{cquote|For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth—as indeed there are many "gods" and many "lords"—yet for us there is '''one God''', the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist. However not all possess this knowledge. (1 Corinthians 8:5-7a RSVCE ''boldface emphasis added'')
