1 Corinthians 8:8 Cross References - Goodspeed

⁸ But food is not going to affect our standing with God. We are none the worse if we do not eat it, and none the better if we do.

¹⁷ The Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of uprightness, peace, and happiness through the possession of the holy Spirit.

¹³ It is true, food is meant for the stomach, and the stomach for the food, but God will put an end to both of them. But the body is not meant for immorality, but for the service of the Lord, and the Lord is for the body to serve.

²⁰ If you have died with Christ to material ways of looking at things, why do you act as though you still belonged to the world, and submit to rules like ²¹ "You must not handle," "You must not taste," "You must not touch"— ²² referring to things that are all meant to be used up and destroyed? This is to follow mere human rules and regulations. ²³ Such practices pass for wisdom, with their self-imposed devotions, their self-humiliation, and their ascetic discipline, but they carry with them no real distinction, they are really only a catering to the flesh.

⁹ You must not be carried away with strange varieties of teaching. The true way to steadfastness of heart is through God's mercy, not through scruples about food, which have never done their adherents any good.
