          "A beginner-friendly commentary should explain the passage summary, immediate context, major themes, important words, and basic application. It should define unfamiliar terms and point the reader to related resources.",

          "A healthy pattern is: read the passage, read the simple commentary, check the Bible text again, look up important terms, and pray for understanding and obedience. Over time, the beginner should become a stronger reader of Scripture.",
          "AI may help at the beginning, but Scripture must remain central at every stage."
