1 Corinthians 10:26 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

For the earth is the Lord's, &c.— For as God is the great Creator, Proprietor, and Disposer, sovereign Lord and Governor of the whole earth, and of all its fruits and products, (Psalms 24:1.) so he has given them for the service of men; and all their rich variety, for necessity and chaste delight, are sanctified to the believer's use; insomuch, that he may lawfully eat of them under the Gospel dispensation, which has abolished the ceremonial distinctions of them, that were of a typical nature under the law, (see 1 Timothy 4:4) and in which Christ, as Mediator, is Lord of all.
