1 Corinthians 10:26

for the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof. [Psalms 24:1; Psalms 50:12. Meat sold in the public market might be bought and used by the Christian without stopping to make investigation or to consult his conscience, for when thus sold it was wholly disassociated from the rites of idolatrous sacrifice, and one so using it could not be suspected of doing so as an act of worship. Moreover, all meat was pure, since it had come from the Lord. Being part of the furniture of the earth, it was to be eaten without scruple-- Romans 14:14; Romans 14:20; 1 Timothy 4:4-5; Acts 10:15]
