New American Standard Bible
7 However, not all people (A)have this knowledge; but (B)some, being accustomed to the idol until now, eat food as if it were sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. 8 Now (C)food will not bring us [a]close to God; we are neither [b]the worse if we do not eat, nor [c]the better if we do eat.
