哥林多前书 10:25-27 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Corinthians 10:23-33

In this passage the apostle shows in what instances, notwithstanding, Christians might lawfully eat what had been sacrificed to idols. They must not eat it out of religious respect to the idol, nor go into his temple, and hold a feast there, upon what they knew was an idol-sacrifice; nor perhaps out of the temple, if they knew it was a feast held upon a sacrifice, but there were cases wherein they might without sin eat what had been offered. Some such the apostle here enumerates.?But, I. He... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - 1 Corinthians 10:23-33

10:23-33 All things are allowed to me, but all things are not good for me. All things are allowed, but all things do not build up. Let no one think only of his own good, but let him think of the good of the other man too. Eat everything that is sold in the market place, and don't ask fussy questions for conscience sake; for the earth and its fulness belong to god. If one of the pagans invites you to a meal, and you are willing to go, eat anything that is put before you, and don't ask... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 10:25

Whatsoever is sold in the shambles ,.... the word μακελλον , rendered "shambles", here used, is a Latin word, and is made use of by Latin writers in the same sense as here, for a place where food was sold F9 Vid. Suet. Vita Jul. Caesar, c. 43. & Tiber. Nero, c. 34. . The original of the name is said F11 Alex. ab Alex Genial Diet. l. 3. c. 23. to be this; one Macellus, a very wicked and profane man, being for his robberies and filthy life condemned to die, a place was built... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 10:26

For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof ,.... Which words are taken out of Psalm 24:1 and to be understood of Christ, who by creation and preservation is Lord of the whole earth, and as Mediator has all in his possession; and having broken down the middle wall of partition, gives his people the free use of all creatures, of the beasts of the field, the fowls of the air, the fishes of the sea, and the trees, fruits, and plants of the earth, which are the fulness thereof; and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 10:27

If any of them that believe not ,.... In Christ, and make no profession of faith in him; but are infidels to his person, office, grace, righteousness, Gospel, and ordinances, as there were many such at Corinth: "bid you" to a feast; invite you to dine or sup with them in their own houses: and ye be disposed to go ; the apostle does not lay any commands upon them to go, or not go, but leaves them to their own will, inclination, and discretion; for as circumstances might be, it might be... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 10:25

Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat - The case to which the apostle refers is simply this; it was customary to bring the flesh of the animal to market, the blood of which had been poured out in sacrifice to an idol; or, taken more particularly, the case was this; one part of the sacrifice was consumed on the altar of the idol: a second part was dressed and eaten by the sacrificer; and a third belonged to the priest, and was often sold in the shambles. To partake of the second share,... read more

For the earth is the Lord's - And because God made the earth and its fullness, all animals, plants, and vegetables, there can be nothing in it or them impure or unholy; because all are the creatures of God. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 10:27

If any - bid you to a feast - The apostle means any common meal, not an idol festival; for to such no Christian could lawfully go. Whatsoever is set before you, eat - Do not act as the Jews generally do, torturing both themselves and others with questions, such as those mentioned in 1 Corinthians 10:26 . read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 10:25

Verse 25 25.Whatsoever is sold in the shambles He has spoken above of dissembling in connection with idolatry, or, at least, as to those actions which the Corinthians could not engage in, without professing themselves to be the associates of the wicked in their superstitions. He now requires them, not merely to abstain from all professions of idolatry, but also to avoid carefully all occasions of offense, which are wont to arise from the indiscriminate use of things indifferent. For, although... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 10:26

Verse 26 26.The earth is the Lord’s He establishes, from the testimony of David, the liberty which he had allowed. (Psalms 24:1, and Psalms 50:12.) But it will be asked by some one, “What has this to do with the point?” I answer, If the fullness of the earth (599) is the Lord’s, there is nothing in the world that is not sacred and pure. We must always keep in view, what the question is of which the Apostle treats. It might be doubted, whether the creatures of God were polluted by the sacrifices... read more
