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
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
“Neither shall we have any abundance if we do eat, nor shall we suffer any loss if we do not eat.” That is to say: neither will the former make me rich, nor will the latter make me poor.
