Proverbs 16:7

Verse 7

v. 7. When a man's ways please the Lord, when Jehovah finds that a person's conduct, the objects which he has in mind, and the means which he uses to accomplish them, are in accordance with His will, He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him, causing them to abandon their hostile attitude and even to take his part.

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary is Lutheran to the core. Dr. Paul E. Kretzmann's commentary reproduces Luther, his theology and religion, his faith and piety. Dr. Kretzmann's commentary offers to Lutheran Christians nothing but sound, scriptural doctrine on the basis of believing, Biblical scholarship. Because of this, the Popular Commentary possesses a unique distinction. It is a popular commentary in the truest sense of the term; a commentary for the people and offering to the people nothing but unalloyed exposition of the Bible.About the AuthorPaul Edward Kretzmann was born in Farmers Retreat, Indiana in 1883.
