The Holy Bible
A true friend, Scripture says, loves at all times and sharpens us like iron sharpens iron. These Bible verses about friendship celebrate the companions God places beside us.
“A friend loves at all times; and a brother is born for adversity.”
“Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn’t have another to lift him up.”
“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.”
“Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart; so does earnest counsel from a man’s friend.”
“A man of many companions may be ruined, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.”
“Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do.”
“Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens his friend’s countenance.”
“In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate to one another; in honor preferring one another;”
“Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do. Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.”
“One who walks with wise men grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.”
“Don’t be deceived! “Evil companionships corrupt good morals.””
“No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn’t know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.”
