ACC ~ 1 Corinthians 8 v8

FOOD WILL NOT COMMEND US TO GOD. CHRYSOSTOM: 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. HOMILIES ON THE EPISTLES OF PAUL TO THE CORINTHIANS 20.9-10.

NEITHER ABUNDANCE NOR LOSS. AUGUSTINE: “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. CONFESSIONS 10.45.
