Paraphrase

Footnotes

1

“The one who is prevailing” is a present participle meaning “the prevailing one.” This is a reference to one who is faithfully prevailing at this time, the one who is being faithful right now.

2: "I will grant"

If you seek what is truly “desirable,” then stay on the godly path, because the reward will be very worthwhile. The culture promises life at its fullest, but only following God can produce abundant life (the “tree of life”).

3

“Garden” can mean “the garden, or paradise.”
