哥林多前書 10:26 RCUVTS

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Corinthians 10:25-26

1 Corinthians 10:25-26. The apostle now applies this principle to the point in question; and on the ground of it, gives the following rules concerning meats. Whatsoever is sold in the shambles Though it were offered to idols before, yet being now set openly to sale, the idol is no more honoured therewith, and it is common meat; that you may buy, and eat it in private, either in a friend’s house or your own, asking no question Whether it has been offered in sacrifice to an idol or not;... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 10:23-33

Consideration of fellow believers (10:23-11:1)Some things that are allowable are not helpful. If Christians think of others before they think of themselves, they will refrain from certain things in case others copy them and are weakened spiritually as a result (23-24).The Corinthians should understand that the reason why they must not join in idol feasts is that eating involves fellowship with the idol and its demons. It is not that the physical properties of the food are in any way changed.... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 10:26

For the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof.This meant that the meat did not really belong to an idol, no matter if it had been sacrificed. It may therefore be eaten in gratitude as a gift from the Lord, and having no connection at all with an idol. This is a quotation from Psalms 24:1, emphasizing that nothing that people might do can change the ownership of that which intrinsically belongs to God, not merely by the right of creation, but also by the right of maintenance. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Corinthians 10:26

1 Corinthians 10:26. For the earth is the Lord's, &c.— For as God is the great Creator, Proprietor, and Disposer, sovereign Lord and Governor of the whole earth, and of all its fruits and products, (Psalms 24:1.) so he has given them for the service of men; and all their rich variety, for necessity and chaste delight, are sanctified to the believer's use; insomuch, that he may lawfully eat of them under the Gospel dispensation, which has abolished the ceremonial distinctions of them, that... read more

26. 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; 1 Timothy 4:4; 1 Timothy 4:5; compare 1 Timothy 4:5- :). read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Corinthians 10:25-26

It was not wrong to eat meat that pagans had offered in sacrifice to an idol. Any food for which one thanks God thereby becomes acceptable for human consumption, assuming it is wholesome (1 Corinthians 10:30; cf. 1 Timothy 4:3-5). This was a very un-Jewish viewpoint coming from a Jew. As earlier in this epistle and elsewhere in his writings, Paul appealed to Scripture for a supporting summary statement (Psalms 24:1; Psalms 50:12).Remember Paul was talking about distinctions based on spiritual... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 10:1-33

(b) Food offered to Idols(iii) Historical Illustrations and Practical AdviceSt. Paul has been speaking of the need of earnestness and self-discipline, and the danger of failure; he now holds out the fate of the Israelites as a warning against self-confidence. The Corinthians were tempted to the very same sins for which Israel suffered.All of the Israelites received great blessings from God, types of the sacramental privileges Christians enjoy, yet most of them perished in the wilderness because... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Corinthians 10:26

(26) The earth is the Lord’s. . . .—All food that earth brings forth or nourishes is God’s gift, and therefore good. It was merely when regarded as an actual sacrifice that any meat could be considered that “of devils.” This great truth, recognised in the Old Testament as well as in the New, is the reason of the previous statement that conscience need not come into the matter at all. read more

1 Corinthians 10:2 'They were all baptised in the cloud and in the sea'; this is the register of all Christ's chosen ones....
