Third Edition

This Service may be interfered with by those on the high mountains. But God will assuredly take charge of its performance.

This time I will truly and assuredly guarantee it and work My omnipotence, despite whatever kinds of things that may occur.

Inoue/Eynon

It is hard for you to grasp that the Service shall settle the struggles in high places; but I, God, fully guarantee it.

Now, regardless of your condition, I sincerely guarantee that I shall reveal My work to you without fail.
