Parallel Strong's
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Food will not make us acceptable to God. We are not inferior if we don’t eat, and we are not better if we do eat.

New American Standard Bible
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.

King James Bible
But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
Parallel Verses
International Standard Version
However, food will not bring us closer to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat food that has been offered to an idol, and no better off if we do.

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

Young's Literal Translation
But victuals do not commend us to God, for neither if we may eat are we in advance; nor if we may not eat, are we behind;
