Commentary

Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)

From Michi no Dai: Foundation of the Path 33:45

God will step by step teach things that have not existed since the beginning of the world. In the original of this verse, the phrase “dandan to,” which is rendered here as “step by step,” does strike us as meaning “step by step” in this instance.
