The term world indicates the habitable regions, wherein Jehovah
is especially to be acknowledged as Sovereign. He who rules the fish of the sea
and the fowl of the air should not be disobeyed by man, his noblest creature.
Men are not their own, nor may they call their hearts, or their substance their
own; they are Jehovah’s rightful servants. This claim especially applies to us
who are born from heaven. We do not belong to the world or to Satan, but by
creation and redemption we are the Lord’s. Paul uses this verse twice, to show
that no food is unclean, and that nothing is really the property of false gods.
