If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you without raising questions of conscience. — Acceptance of pagan hospitality is permitted without excessive conscience-checking. The phrase 'without raising questions' (anakrinonta dia syneidēsin) permits eating without investigating origins. The principle: fellowship with non-believers is possible without hyper-scrupulosity about every detail.
