Bible Breakdown – Commentary

The NKJV MacArthur Study Bible tells us: (find on here: http://bit.ly/JMstudybible -not an affiliate link)

- spirit of fear - the Greek word, which can also be translated “timidity”, denotes a cowardly, shameful fear caused by a weak, selfish character. The threat of Roman persecution, which was escalating under Nero, the hostility of those in the Ephesian church who resented Timothy’s leadership, and the assaults of false teachers with their sophisticated systems of deceptions may have been overwhelming Timothy. But if he was fearful, it didn’t come from God. - power - Positively, God has already given believers all the spiritual resources they need for every trial and threat (Matt. 10:19-20). Divine power—effective, productive spiritual energy belongs to believers (Eph. 1:18-20; 3:20, Zech. 4:6). - love - This kind of love centers on pleasing God and seeking others’ welfare before one’s own [...]. - sound mind - Refers to a discipline, self-controlled, and properly prioritized mind. This is the opposite of fear and cowardice that causes disorder and confusion. Focusing on the sovereign nature and perfect purposes of our eternal God allows believers to control their lives with godly wisdom and confidence in every situation [...].

The 1599 Geneva Bible simply says: (find on here: http://bit.ly/1599gbible -not an affiliate link)

- To pierce us through, and terrify us, as men whom the Lord will destroy.

Access to a Bible study commentary online has transformed the way Christians engage with Scripture. Instead of relying solely on printed books or formal classes, believers can now explore the Bible with trusted explanations, contextual insights, and structured guidance anytime and anywhere. Online Bible commentaries make deep biblical understanding more accessible, especially for modern readers balancing faith with busy daily lives.

At Indepstudy, our goal is to provide a Bible study commentary online that is accurate, easy to understand, and rooted in Scripture. We believe that everyone — regardless of experience — should be able to study the Bible with confidence and clarity.

When I started building the study resources at Indepstudy, there was one request that kept coming up from readers around the world:

“Can you create a simple, clear, and practical Proverbs Bible commentary that helps me apply wisdom to daily life?”

That repeated request became the inspiration for developing a complete Proverbs Bible commentary—one that doesn’t just explain verses but guides people in decision-making, relationships, leadership, finances, and spiritual growth. As a teacher and researcher, I noticed that many existing commentaries were either overly academic or too shallow. People needed something balanced, something that connected the rich Hebrew wisdom of Proverbs with the real challenges believers face today.

This Proverbs Bible commentary from In-Dept Study delivers a clear, insightful, and practical explanation of Scripture’s foundational wisdom book. Focused on real-life application, it breaks down each passage with context, literary themes, and spiritual interpretation that reveal the timeless relevance of Proverbs. The Proverbs Bible commentary emphasizes godly decision-making, moral integrity, and understanding the path of wisdom. Ideal for students, teachers, and believers seeking direction, this commentary blends trusted scholarship with easy-to-understand insights, making it a valuable tool for both study and daily discipleship.

Our Proverbs Bible commentary provides clear, accessible explanations of Solomon’s timeless teachings on wisdom, integrity, and righteous living. At The In-Dept Study of the Bible, we break down each passage with context, cultural background, and practical insight so readers can apply these teachings to real-life situations. This commentary highlights essential themes such as discernment, humility, character, and sound decision-making, offering guidance for families, leaders, and young believers seeking direction. With verse-by-verse clarity and a focus on spiritual growth, our Proverbs Bible commentary helps Christians embrace a life shaped by godly wisdom, moral strength, and daily obedience rooted in Scripture.
