1 Corinthians 8:7-8
Revised Standard Version
7 However, not all possess this knowledge. But some, through being hitherto accustomed to idols, eat food as really offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. 8 Food will not commend us to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do.

1 Corinthians 8:7-8
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.
