Commentary

The ground on which such eating without questioning is justified is, the earth and all its contents ("the fulness thereof," Psa 20:1; Psa 50:12), including all meats, belong to the Lord, and are appointed for our use; and where conscience suggests no scruple, all are to be eaten (Rom 14:14, Rom 14:20; Ti1 4:4-5; compare Act 10:15).
