1 Corinthians 8:8

1 Corinthians 8:8. Meat commendeth us not to God— Ου παριστησι, sets us not before God; that is, to be taken notice of by him. It cannot be supposed that St. Paul, in answer to a letter of the Corinthians, should tell them, that if they ate things offered to idols, they were not the better, or if they ate not, were not the worse, unless they had expressed some opinion of good in eating.
