no other gods
First commandment's demand
No other gods is a phrase from the Ten Commandments, specifically the first commandment's prohibition against worshiping deities besides the God of Israel: Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
The phrase appears in discussions of monotheism, religious exclusivity, and priorities more broadly—anything that demands singular devotion: For some people, career success becomes their religion; they have no other gods.
