1 Corinthians 8:8

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. For neither, if we don't eat, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better.

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 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;

But food does not bring us closer to God: We are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.
