1 Corinthiens 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 Corinthiens 10:26 In-Context

24 Que personne ne cherche son avantage particulier, mais que chacun cherche celui d'autrui.
25 Mangez de tout ce qui se vend à la boucherie, sans vous enquérir de rien, à cause de la conscience;
26 Car: La terre est au Seigneur, et tout ce qu'elle contient.
27 Si un infidèle vous convie, et que vous vouliez aller chez lui, mangez de tout ce qu'on vous présentera, sans vous enquérir de rien pour la conscience.
28 Mais si quelqu'un vous dit: Ceci a été sacrifié aux idoles; n'en mangez point, à cause de celui qui vous a avertis, et à cause de la conscience; car: Au Seigneur appartient la terre, et tout ce qu'elle contient.
