Keep it until the fourteenth
And we too, unless the true light rises for us perfectly and we see that our ruling faculty has been perfectly illumined, shall not be able to sacrifice and eat the true sheep (John 1:9) (John 8:12).
Greek
Καὶ ἡμεῖς δὲ εἰ μὴ τέλειον τὸ φῶς ἡμῖν τὸ ἀληθινὸν ἀνατείλῃ καὶ ἴδωμεν ὡς πεφώτισται ἡμῶν τελείως τὸ ἡγεμονικόν, οὐ δυνησόμεθα τὸ ἀληθινὸν πρόβατον θῦσαι καὶ φαγεῖν.]
