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.

Amplified Bible - Classic Edition

⁸ Now food [itself] will not cause our acceptance by God nor commend us to Him. Eating [food offered to idols] gives us no advantage; neither do we come short or become any worse if we do not eat [it].

⁸ 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.
