Food will not commend us to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do.

其实食物不能叫神看中我们，因为我们不吃也无损，吃也无益。

其实，食物不能使我们更接近上帝，因为我们不吃也无损，吃也无益。

其实，食物不能使我们更接近神，因为我们不吃也无损，吃也无益。

其实食物并不能改变上帝对我们的看法，我们不吃也没有损失，吃了也不会更好。

其实食物不能使我们亲近神，我们不吃也无损，吃也无益。

其实食物不能使我们接近神；我们如果不吃也不会缺少什么，吃了也不会增加什么。

其實食物不能叫神看中我們，因為我們不吃也無損，吃也無益。

其實，食物不能使我們更接近上帝，因為我們不吃也無損，吃也無益。

其實，食物不能使我們更接近神，因為我們不吃也無損，吃也無益。

其實食物並不能改變上帝對我們的看法，我們不吃也沒有損失，吃了也不會更好。

其實食物不能使我們親近神，我們不吃也無損，吃也無益。

其實食物並不能將我們舉薦與上帝：我們若不喫，無所虧損，喫也無所增益。

其實食物不能使我們接近神；我們如果不吃也不會缺少什麼，吃了也不會增加什麼。

非所食者、使我悅於上帝、不食無損、食亦無益、

曰、我以食物、不能悅上帝、食者無益、不食者無損、

我儕不能以食物悅天主、我食無益、不食無損、

夫食物之事、亦焉能令吾人見悅於天主乎蓋不食不為損、食亦不為益也。

But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.

But food doesn’t bring us close to God. We are no worse if we don’t eat. We are no better if we do eat.

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

Food will not bring us close to God. We are not worse off if we don’t eat, and we are not better if we do eat.

Now food will not bring us close to God; we are neither the worse if we do not eat, nor the better if we do eat.

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

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.

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.

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.

Now food will not bring us close to God. We are no worse if we do not eat and no better if we do.

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.

For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them.

“ Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food”— and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the world, why, as if you were still alive in the world, do you submit to regulations—“ Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch”( referring to things that all perish as they are used)— according to human precepts and teachings?These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are of no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh.
