But food will not commend us to God; we are neither the worse if we do not eat, nor the better if we do eat.

It’s true that we can’t win God’s approval by what we eat. We don’t miss out on anything if we don’t eat it, and we don’t gain anything if we do.

But God’s approval of us is not based on the food we take: if we do not take it we are no worse for it; and if we take it we are no better.
