8But food commendeth us not to God: for neither if we eat, are we the better; neither if we eat not, are we the worse.
8But food commendeth us not to God: for neither if we eat, are we the better; neither if we eat not, are we the worse.
5 For though there are that are called gods, whether in heaven or upon earth, (as there are gods many, and lords many)
6 Yet to us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
7 But there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol to this hour eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
8 But food commendeth us not to God: for neither if we eat, are we the better; neither if we eat not, are we the worse.
9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours should become a stumbling-block to them that are weak.

8:8But meat doth not commend us to God. For neither, if we eat, shall we have the more; nor, if we eat not, shall we have the less.
8:8But food will not commend us to God: neither, if we eat not, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better.
8:8But meat does not commend us to God; neither if we should not eat do we come short; nor if we should eat have we an advantage.
8:8But meat will not commend us to God: neither, if we eat not, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better.
8:8But food will not commend us to God. For neither, if we don't eat, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better.
8:8But victuals do not commend us to God, for neither if we may eat are we in advance; nor if we may not eat, are we behind;
8:8But meat commends us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
