Roast with fire, not raw, not boiled
For the Jews partake of them raw, leaning on the words of the scriptures alone. But if through the Spirit they see the true circumcision, for example, and the true sabbath, and they work while it is day before the night comes, when no one can work any longer, they already eat the saying boiled through the Spirit (John 9:4) (Romans 2:28–29) (Colossians 2:16–17).
Greek
Ἰουδαῖοι μὲν γὰρ ὠμῶν μεταλαμβάνουσιν αὐτῶν, μόναις ταῖς λέξεσιν ἐπερειδόμενοι τῶν|| [γραφῶν· εἰ δὲ διὰ τοῦ πν(εύματο)ς ὁρῶσι τὴν ἀληθῆ περιτομήν, εἰ τύχοι, καὶ τὸ ἀληθινὸν σάββατον, καὶ ἐργάζονται ἕως ἡμέρα ἐστὶν πρὶν ἐλθεῖν τὴν νύκτα, ὅτε οὐκέτι οὐδεὶς δύναται ἐργάζεσθαι, ἤδη διὰ τοῦ πν(εύματο)ς ἡψημένον ἐσθίουσι τὸ ῥητόν.]
