Now food will not bring us close to God. We are no worse if we do not eat and no better if we do.

biblegateway 1Co 8:8

But food will not commend us to God; we are neither the worse if we do not eat, nor the better if we do eat.

Food will not make us acceptable to God. We are not inferior if we don't eat, and we are not better if we do eat.

But food does not bring us close to God. Neither if we do not eat do we lack, nor if we do eat do we have more.

biblegateway 1Co 8:8

But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.

Food will not commend us to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do.

bibleoremus 1Co 8:8

"Food will not bring us close to God." We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do.

Certainly food will not bring us into God's presence: if we do not eat, we are none the worse, and if we do eat, we are none the better.

biblegateway 1Co 8:8

But food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse.

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