American King James Version
"But meat commends us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. "
— 1 Corinthians 8:8, American King James Version
“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.”
“But food will not commend us to God: neither, if we eat not, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better. ”
“But 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.”
“Now food will not bring us close to God. We are no worse if we do not eat and no better if we do.”
“But 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.”
“But God's approval of us is not based on the food we take: if we do not take it we are no worse for it; and if we take it we are no better.”
“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.”
For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
However, 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.
But meat commends us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to them that are weak.
For if any man see you which have knowledge sit at meat in the idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
And through your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
