1 Corinthians 10:26

1 Corinthians 10:26

24 Let no one seek his own, but each one ^athe other’s well-being.

25 ^aEat whatever is sold in the meat market, asking no questions for conscience’ sake;

26 for ^a“the earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness.”

27 If any of those who do not believe invites you to dinner, and you desire to go, ^aeat whatever is set before you, asking no question for conscience’ sake.

28 But if anyone says to you, “This was offered to idols,” do not eat it ^afor the sake of the one who told you, and for conscience’ sake;¹ for ^b“the earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness.”

The ground on which such eating without questioning is justified is, the earth and all its contents ("the fulness thereof," Psalms 20:1; Psalms 50:12), including all meats, belong to the Lord, and are appointed for our use; and where conscience suggests no scruple, all are to be eaten (Romans 14:14, Romans 14:20; I Timothy 4:4-5; compare Acts 10:15).
