1 Corinthians 8:7-8
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.

American Standard Version
7 Howbeit there is not in all men that knowledge: but some, being used until now to the idol, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. 8 But food will not [a]commend us to God: neither, if we eat not, [b]are we the worse; nor, if we eat, [c]are we the better.
