A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
if any man--a weak Christian at table, wishing to warn his brother.

offered in sacrifice unto idols--The oldest manuscripts omit "unto idols." At a heathen's table the expression, offensive to him, would naturally be avoided.

for conscience' sake--not to cause a stumbling-block to the conscience of thy weak brother (Co1 8:10-12).

for the earth is the Lord's, &c.--not in the oldest manuscripts.

12 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
26 For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.
26 For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.
29 Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience?
37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
26 For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.
