Just curious. Why do you think the Bible does not teach there is only one God in three persons?

Isaiah 42 is a compelling look at the Trinity:
Behold my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights; I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the nations.
2 He will not cry aloud or lift up his voice, or make it heard in the street;
3 a bruised reed he will not break, and a faintly burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring forth justice.
4 He will not grow faint or be discouraged { Or b bruised b } till he has established justice in the earth; and the coastlands wait for his law.
5 Thus says God, the LORD, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and what comes from it, who gives breath to the people on it and spirit to those who walk in it:
6 "I am the LORD; I have called you in righteousness; I will take you by the hand and keep you; I will give you as a covenant for the people, a light for the nations,
7 to open the eyes that are blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness.
8 I am the LORD; that is my name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to carved idols.
Notice here that God is speaking of Jesus and then says “I will not give my glory to another” That means that if we call the Son of God and the Spirit of God anything less than God, then we create “gods” which God Himself strictly opposes.
God will not give His glory to another, so when Jesus says “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.” (matthew 28:18) and on numerous other occasions, neither the Father or the Son is a liar or are contradicting each other.

Yes, sorry for assuming wrong. Some passages:
There is only one God: "You are my witnesses. Is there any God besides me? No, there is no other Rock; I know not one.” (Isaiah 44:8)
So there is only one God, not three. Since the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are each God, you and I know that the one God must be in three persons.
We might say God is one what in three whos.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age.” - Matthew 28:19

And here are some other passages:
The Father is God: “Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.” (Romans 1:7)
The Son is God: “…while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ…” (Titus 2:13)
The Holy Spirit is God: 3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? 4 Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.” (Acts 5)
Since there is only one God, and since each are God, the inference is that there is one God in three persons, which is the Trinity.
