1 Corinthians 8:8 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

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.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

Food doesn't make you closer to God or further from him. Eating certain things doesn't make you a better person, and avoiding them doesn't make you worse.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Your diet doesn't determine your relationship with God — it's about your heart, not your plate.
