1 Corintios 10:26 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 10:26

For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof
Which words are taken out of ( Psalms 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 therefore as the saints have a full right from Christ, to make use of all the creatures in a moderate way, and with thankfulness, they need not fear being defiled by any of them; provided they do not act contrary to the honour of God, and in favour of an idol, or against their own conscience, and the peace of weak believers.

1 Corintios 10:26 In-Context

24 Que nadie busque sus propios intereses sino los del prójimo.

25 Coman de todo lo que se vende en la carnicería, sin preguntar nada por motivos de conciencia,

26 porque «del Señor es la tierra y todo cuanto hay en ella».

27 Si algún incrédulo los invita a comer, y ustedes aceptan la invitación, coman de todo lo que les sirvan sin preguntar nada por motivos de conciencia.

28 Ahora bien, si alguien les dice: «Esto ha sido ofrecido en sacrificio a los ídolos», entonces no lo coman, por consideración al que se lo mencionó, y por motivos de conciencia.
