Mishnah שביעית ח׳:ז׳ · Sheviis 8:7
אֵין מְבַשְּׁלִין יָרָק שֶׁל שְׁבִיעִית בְּשֶׁמֶן שֶׁל תְּרוּמָה,
שֶׁלֹּא יְבִיאֶנּוּ לִידֵי פְסוּל.
רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן מַתִּיר.
וְאַחֲרוֹן אַחֲרוֹן, נִתְפָּשׂ בַּשְּׁבִיעִית.
וְהַפְּרִי עַצְמוֹ, אָסוּר:
One may not cook Sheviis vegetables in terumah oil,
lest he bring it to become disqualified.
Rabbi Shimon permits [it].
And each last [substance added] is caught up in the Sheviis [sanctity].
And the fruit itself, is forbidden:
A reading aid, not an exact translation.

This English is a clause-by-clause rendering to help you follow the Hebrew. It is not word-for-word literal, and it is not a transcript of the recorded shiur — the audio carries explanation and context the translation deliberately leaves out.
