1 Corinthians 8:7-8
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.

1 Corinthians 8:7-8
International Standard Version
7 But not everyone has this knowledge. Some people are so accustomed to idolatry that when they eat food that has been offered to an idol, their conscience becomes contaminated because it is weak. 8 However, food will not bring us closer to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat food that has been offered to an idol,[a] and no better off if we do.
