וריש לקיש האי בכל קדש לא תגע להכי הוא דאתא ההוא מיבעי ליה לטמא שנגע בקדש דאיתמר טמא שנגע בקדש ריש לקיש אומר לוקה רבי יוחנן אומר אינו לוקה ריש לקיש אומר לוקה בכל קדש לא תגע רבי יוחנן אומר אין לוקה ההוא אזהרה לתרומה הוא דאתא

And does Reish Lakash indeed use b'chol kodesh lo sigah to teach this [eating sacrificial meats while one is impure]? But he needs it to teach about an impure person who touched sacrificial meats. That it was said about an impure person who touched sacrificial meats. Reish Lakash says he is liable to malkus, and Rebbi Yochanon says that he is not liable to malkus. Reish Lakash says that he is liable to malkus because of b'chol kodesh lo sigah, and Rebbi Yochanon says that he is not liable to malkus because [b'chol kodesh lo sigah] is just a scriptural warning for Terumah [not for touching sacrificial meats].
