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.”

29 “Conscience,” I say, not your own, but that of the other. For ^awhy is my liberty judged by another man’s conscience?

30 But if I partake with thanks, why am I evil spoken of for the food ^aover which I give thanks?

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).
