1 Corinthians 8:6 Context
4As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice vnto idoles, wee know that an idole is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one. 5For though there bee that are called gods, whether in heauen or in earth (as there be gods many, and lords many:) 6But to vs there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him, and one Lord Iesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. 7Howbeit there is not in euerie man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idole vnto this houre, eate it as a thing offred vnto an idole, and their conscience being weake, is defiled. 8But meate commendeth vs not to God: for neither if we eate, are we the better: neither if wee eate not, are we the worse.

Wesley's Notes for 1 Corinthians 8:6
8:6 Yet to us - Christians. There is but one God - This is exclusive, not of the One Lord, as if he were an inferior deity; but only of the idols to which the One God is opposed. From whom are all things - By creation, providence, and grace. And we for him - The end of all we are, have, and do. And one Lord - Equally the object of divine worship. By whom are all things - Created, sustained, and governed. And we by him - Have access to the Father, and all spiritual blessings.
People's Bible Notes for 1 Corinthians 8:6
1Co 8:6 But to us [there is but] one God. To Christians, there is but one divinity, one object of worship, the true and living God. One God, the Father, instead of the "gods many"; one Lord, Christ, instead of the "lords many" of heathenism (1Co 8:5), one God, and one Mediator between man and God (1Ti 2:5).
