For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it is received with thanksgiving.
For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: (7) He sets an apostolic rule for taking away the difference of meats, against that false doctrine.
Every creature of God is good and clean to you; Christ has removed the Jewish distinction of meats. Abstaining from them as religious duty is not piety but bondage, and denies the Christian liberty He restored. Thanksgiving sanctifies the creature to your use.
AI summary
God made every creature for food good, and you are to use them at all times without distinction. To reject them as unclean or to abstain from them by some religious rule He never commanded is rank ingratitude, and justly exposes you to His displeasure.
