『おふでさき註釈』、p. 15 六五、註 ハかきによほふ（若き女房）とは、いんねんあって、秀司先生の奥様となられた大和国平群郡平等寺村の小東政吉まつゑ様の事で、当時十九才であった。 |
Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 32:45
1:65 The word “wrongdoing” refers to actions that are not in accord with God’s intention. Specifically, this verse is talking about Shuji’s relationship with this common-law wife. The phrase “young wife” refers to 19-year-old Matsue. Given the age difference between them, some people may think that she is too young for him and that they are an ill-matched couple, yet the verse says that this is a marriage that accords with God’s intention, a marriage between two persons whose souls are casually related.
