26 Domini est terra et plenitudo eius

1 Corinthians 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 Corinthians 10:26 In-Context

24 nemo quod suum est quaerat sed quod alterius

25 omne quod in macello venit manducate nihil interrogantes propter conscientiam

26 Domini est terra et plenitudo eius

27 si quis vocat vos infidelium et vultis ire omne quod vobis adponitur manducate nihil interrogantes propter conscientiam

28 si quis autem dixerit hoc immolaticium est idolis nolite manducare propter illum qui indicavit et propter conscientiam
