1 CORINTHIANS 10:25 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:”
Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience, for, 'The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it.' — Paul permits participation in ordinary commerce (makellon = meat market) without scrupulosity. The quotation (Ps 24:1) establishes God's sovereignty: all food belongs to the Lord. Philosophical anxiety about idol-contact is overcome by this ownership claim.
