In 1 Corinthians 10:28, Paul adds the exception: if someone says the meat is sacrificed, don't eat for conscience's sake, applying the principle from verse 26.

In Deuteronomy 10:14, this same declaration that the earth and all it contains belong to God grounds Paul's argument about food.

Psalm 24:1 is the exact source Paul quotes: 'The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof,' directly supporting his point.

Psalm 24:1 is the direct source Paul quotes; the identical phrase makes the connection explicit and foundational.

Exodus 19:5 declares all the earth belongs to God, echoing the Psalm quote in 10:26 that all food is from the Lord and thus permissible.

Psalm 50:12 states 'the world and its fullness are mine,' echoing the same divine ownership theme but not a direct quote.
