Reference for Kiddushin 133:1

גר שנשא ממזרת דיש קידושין ואין עבירה הולד הולך אחר הפגום דתניא גר שנשא ממזרת הולד ממזר דברי רבי יוסי אמר ליה מי סברת מתני' ר' יוסי היא מתניתין ר' יהודה היא דאמר גר לא ישא ממזרת ויש קידושין ויש עבירה הולד הולך אחר הפגום

a proselyte who marries a mamzereth, where the kiddushin is valid and there is no sin, and yet the issue follows the status of the inferior?For it was taught: If a proselyte marries a mamzereth, the issue is mamzer: this is the view of R. Jose! He replied: Do you think that our Mishnah agrees with R. Jose?Our Mishnah is according to R. Judah, who maintained: A proselyte may not marry a mamzereth; hence there is kiddushin, but there is transgression, [and so] the issue follows the status of the inferior. Then let it be taught [in the Mishnah]?- 'WHEREVER' of the second clause is taught as an extension.Alternatively, it is after all, according to R. Jose, but 'THIS IS THE CASE'is taught as a limitation.Does then the 'THIS IS THE CASE' imply that there are no others? But what of a halalwho marries the daughter of an Israelite, where there is kiddushin and there is transgression, yet the issue follows the male?- That is no difficulty: he [the Tanna of our Mishnah] holds with R. Dosethai son of R. Judah.But what of an Israelite who marries a halalah, where there is kiddushin and there is no transgression, and yet the issue follows the male? - 'WHEREVER' is stated in the first clause as an extension. Then let it be explicitly taught? - Because it cannot be [conveniently] taught. [For] how shall it be stated: 'The daughter of a priest, a Levite, or an Israelite or a halalah who marries a priest, a Levite, or an Israelite?' Is then a halalah eligible to [marry] a priest? But there is the case of Rabbah b. Bar Hanah. For Rabbah b. Bar Hanah said in R. Johanan's name: If an Egyptian of the second degree marries an Egyptian woman of the first degree, her son ranks as third degree! - 'WHEREVER' of the first clause is stated as an extension; whereas according to R. Dimi, who maintained that he belongs to the second degree, 'THIS IS THE CASE' is taught as a limitation. But there is [the following]: For when Rabin came, he said in the name of R. Johanan: In the case of [other] nations, follow the male; if they become proselytes, follow the more inferior status of the two! - 'THIS IS THE CASE' is taught as a limitation. [Reverting to the authorship of the Mishnah:] How now! If you say that our Mishnah agrees with R. Judah, it is well: then 'WHEREVER' of the first clause includes an Israelite who marries a halalah and the case of Rabbah b. Bar Hanah; while 'THIS IS THE CASE' excludes the cases of R. Dimi and Rabin.
