NLT © biblegateway 1Co 8:8 |
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. |
MSG © biblegateway 1Co 8:8 |
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. |
BBE © SABDAweb 1Co 8:8 |
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. |
NRSV © bibleoremus 1Co 8:8 |
"Food will not bring us close to God." We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do. |
