This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





The apostle here speaketh in the person either of those teachers amongst them, or those more private persons amongst them, who made no difficulty of eating meat offered to idols; they objected, that meat, or the eating of meat, was not the thing which commended any man to God; they were not the better if they did eat, or the worse if they did not eat. The apostle himself had asserted this, Rom_14:17, that the kingdom of God was not meat or drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
