This section contains translated material that has not yet been subjected to peer-review to check for accuracy and clarity. While the translator(s) have given their best effort to render Japanese text into English, we would like readers to keep in mind that the present translation may require further revising and refining.

16:50 Since the hastening which I speak of to this degree is not an ordinary matter, be sure to fully listen, understand, and ponder at this time.
