Friendship

The topic of friendship is important. The influence of others with whom we spend our time affects us greatly. God’s Word is very clear on the type of friends to seek and gives us guidance for what type of friend we should be to others.

Proverbs 18:24
A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go: 
Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.


Proverbs 27:6
Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.


Proverbs 27:17
Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

Micah 7:5a
Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide:

James 4:4
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

John 15:13
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
