Sprueche 4:2 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 4:2

For I give you good doctrine
Whose author, matter, use, and tendency, are good, and therefore should be received; so the Gospel is called, ( 1 Timothy 4:6 ) ; and no other is here meant: it is the doctrine concerning Wisdom or Christ, as the following verses show; which serves to exalt him, and makes for the good and welfare of immortal souls; and such is the doctrine of the Scriptures, of Christ and his apostles, even all the doctrines and truths of the Gospel; forsake you not my law;
or "doctrine" F15; not the law given on Mount Sinai, as Gersom interprets it; but the doctrine of Christ, which goes out from Mount Zion: this the children of Wisdom should not neglect, relinquish, drop, or depart from; but should keep it, and abide by it.
