8:8But food commendeth us not to God: for neither if we eat, are we the better; neither if we eat not, are we the worse.
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.
