8:4a So about eating food sacrificed to idols:

Well then, here is what I say/teach about eating meat that has been sacrificed to idols/gods.
-or-
Now, I give this answer to what you (plur.) said about eating meat of/from animals that people have offered/given to false gods.

8:4b We know that an idol is nothing at all in the world,

We (incl.) know, as you say, that none of the idols/gods in the world are real gods,
-or-
I agree with you (plur.) that false gods are not alive,

8:4c and that there is no God but one.

and there is only the one God.
-or-
and that the God ⌊whom we (incl.) worship⌋ is the only ⌊true and living⌋ God.
