Legacy Standard Bible
7 However, not all men (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 But (C)food will not [a]commend us to God. We neither lack if we do not eat, nor abound if we do eat.

Common English Bible
7 But not everybody knows this. Some are eating this food as though it really is food sacrificed to a real idol, because they were used to idol worship until now. Their conscience is weak because it has been damaged. 8 Food won’t bring us close to God. We’re not missing out if we don’t eat, and we don’t have any advantage if we do eat.
