Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)

From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 32:43

1:51 The phrase “matters within” here refers specifically to the training being provided by using Shuji’s health disorder as a topic. This verse is saying that, although until now God has spoken only about settling matters within, God will now change the topic.
