1 Corinthians 8:8

The Message Bible MSG

New International Version NIV

8 But fortunately God doesn't grade us on our diet. We're neither commended when we clean our plate nor reprimanded when we just can't stomach it.

8 But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.
