"Then Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said: 'O LORD God of Israel, the One who
dwells between the cherubim, You are God, You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth.
You have made heaven and earth. Incline Your ear, O LORD, and hear; open Your eyes, O LORD, and
see; and hear the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to reproach the living God. Truly, LORD,
the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands, and have cast their gods into the fire;
for they were not gods, but the work of men’s hands - wood and stone. Therefore they
destroyed them. Now therefore, O LORD our God, I pray, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms
of the earth may know that You are the LORD God, You alone.'"

"Inasmuch as there is none like You, O LORD (You are great, and Your name is great in might),
who would not fear You, O King of the nations?...But the LORD is the true God; He is the living
God and the everlasting King. At His wrath the earth will tremble, and the nations will not be able to
endure His indignation. Thus you shall say to them: 'The gods that have not made the heavens and the
earth shall perish from the earth and from under these heavens.'...Every metalsmith is put to shame
by an image; for his molded image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them. They are futile, a work
of errors; in the time of their punishment they shall perish. The Portion of Jacob is not like them, for He
is the Maker of all things, and Israel is the tribe of His inheritance; the LORD of hosts is His name."
(Jeremiah 10:6-16).
Isaiah
"'You are My witnesses,' says the LORD, 'And My servant whom I have chosen, that you may

(Isaiah 43:10-11).
"Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: 'I am the First
and I am the Last; besides Me there is no God. And who can proclaim as I do? Then let him
declare it and set it in order for Me, since I appointed the ancient people. And the things that are
coming and shall come, let them show these to them. Do not fear, nor be afraid; have I not told you
from that time, and declared it? You are My witnesses. Is there a God besides Me? Indeed there is no
other Rock; I know not one.'" (Isaiah 44:6-8).
"I am the LORD, and there is no other; there is no God besides Me. I will gird you,
though you have not known Me, that they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting that there
is none besides Me. I am the LORD, and there is no other; I form the light and create darkness, I make
peace and create calamity; I, the LORD, do all these things.'"
(Isaiah 45:5-7).
"Thus says the LORD: 'The labor of Egypt and merchandise of Cush and of the Sabeans, men
of stature, shall come over to you, and they shall be yours; they shall walk behind you, they shall come
over in chains; and they shall bow down to you. They will make supplication to you, saying, "Surely
God is in you, and there is no other; there is no other God."'"
(Isaiah 45:14).
"For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that
formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not
in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none

this from ancient time? Who has told it from that time? Have not I, the LORD? And there is no

"Jesus answered him, 'The first of all the commandments is: "Hear, O Israel, the
LORD our God, the LORD is one. And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart,
with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength." This is the first
commandment. And the second, like it, is this: "You shall love your neighbor
as yourself." There is no other commandment greater than these.' So the scribe said
to Him, 'Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, and there is
no other but He. And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, with
all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, is more than
all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.'" (Mark 12:29-33).
"So Jesus said to him, 'Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One,
that is, God." (Mark 10:18; Matthew 19:17).
"How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek the honor
that comes from the only God?" (John 5:44).

believe -- and tremble!" (James 2:19).

"Or is He the God of the Jews only? Is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes,
of the Gentiles also, since there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the
uncircumcised through faith." (Romans 3:29-30).
"Therefore concerning the eating of things offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing
in the world, and that there is no other God but one."

(Galatians 3:20).
"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man
Christ Jesus. . ." (1 Timothy 2:5).
Jude
"Now to him who is able to keep you from falling, and to make you stand without blemish
in the presence of his glory with rejoicing, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ
our Lord, be glory, majesty, power, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen."
(Jude 1:24, NRSV). I include this textual variant for the benefit of those
who prefer modern translations.
