1 Corinthians 8:7-8
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.

New King James Version
7 However, there is not in everyone that knowledge; for some, (A)with consciousness of the idol, until now eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is (B)defiled. 8 But (C)food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse.
