But food commends us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 8:8 Go To 1 Corinthians 8
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Food by itself is neither here nor there. But as he goes on, Paul reveals all the harm which might arise from eating meat which had been sacrificed to idols.
