1 Corinthians 8:7-8
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 It is not everyone, however, who has this knowledge. Since some have become so accustomed to idols until now, they still think of the food they eat as food offered to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.(A) 8 “Food will not bring us close to God.”[a] We are no worse off if we do not eat and no better off if we do.(B)

1 Corinthians 8:7-8
New English Translation
