    For the sake of God. so 'For God's sake' is the correct form.

    If your British. If you're American, it's "For God's Sake". LOL Danged Brits down know their quotation marks from an apostrophe in the ground.

    If you refer to multiple Gods....then Gods' would be correct.

    Sake = For the purpose of; in the interest of; in order to achieve or preserve.
    Thereby for the sake of God, of which there is singularly only one, "for God's sake" would be grammatically acceptable, but " for the sake of God", would be grammatically preferable.

    It is genitive, so it should be 'God's sake'...But I'm a stranger and we tend to be correct as much as we can, cause we don't know better.
