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.

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.

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

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.

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 eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Do not be misled by varied and strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited.

Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food, however God will do away with both of them. But the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body.

If you have died with Christ to the elementary principles of the world, why, as if you were living in the world, do you submit yourself to decrees, such as,“ Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!”( which all refer to things destined to perish with use)— in accordance with the commandments and teachings of man?These are matters which do have the appearance of wisdom in self made religion and humility and severe treatment of the body, but are of no value against fleshly indulgence.
