Contextual Overview
1 Children, listen to your father's teaching. Pay attention and you will learn how to learn. 2 The advice I give is good, so don't ever forget what I teach you. 3 When I was my father's little boy and my mother's dear son, 4 my father taught me this: "Pay attention to what I say. Obey my commands and you will have a good life. 5 Try to get wisdom and understanding. Don't forget my teaching or ignore what I say. 6 Don't turn away from wisdom, and she will protect you. Love her, and she will keep you safe. 7 "The first step to becoming wise is to look for wisdom, so use everything you have to get understanding. 8 Love wisdom, and she will make you great. Hold on to wisdom, and she will bring you honor. 9 Wisdom will reward you with a crown of honor and glory." 10 Son, listen to me. Do what I say, and you will live a long time.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
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" o; 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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
