1 Corinthians 8:6

Jesus
God's power and sovereigntyJesus ChristCreationThe Trinity

4 So about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that an idol is nothing at all in the world, and that there is no God but one.

5 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many so-called gods and lords),

yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we exist. And there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we exist.

7 But not everyone has this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that they eat such food as if it were sacrificed to an idol. And since their conscience is weak, it is defiled.

8 But food does not bring us closer to God: We are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
