1 Corinthians 8:8
nBut *meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, 2are we the better; neither, if we eat not, 3are we the worse.
But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
βρῶμα δὲ ἡμᾶς οὐ παρίστησι τῷ Θεῷ· οὔτε γὰρ ἐὰν φάγωμεν περισσεύομεν, οὔτε ἐὰν μὴ φάγωμεν ὑστερούμεθα.

Colossians 2:20-23 20. Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, 21.

Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

Or, have we the less.
