    7 However, that knowledge isn't in all men. But some, with consciousness of the idol until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

    8 But food will not commend us to God. For neither, if we don't eat, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better.
