17 Iron by iron is sharpened, And a man sharpens the face of his friend.
63 A companion I [am] to all who fear Thee, And to those keeping Thy precepts.
5 Better [is] open reproof than hidden love.
6 Faithful are the wounds of a lover, And abundant the kisses of an enemy.
20 Whoso is walking with wise men is wise, And a companion of fools suffereth evil.
3 And Jonathan maketh -- also David -- a covenant, because he loveth him as his own soul,
33 Be not led astray; evil communications corrupt good manners;
10 Thine own friend, and the friend of thy father, forsake not, And the house of thy brother enter not In a day of thy calamity, Better [is] a near neighbour than a brother afar off.
9 The two [are] better than the one, in that they have a good reward by their labour.
10 For if they fall, the one raiseth up his companion, but wo to the one who falleth and there is not a second to raise him up!
17 At all times is the friend loving, And a brother for adversity is born.
13 greater love than this hath no one, that any one his life may lay down for his friends;
14 ye are my friends, if ye may do whatever I command you;
15 no more do I call you servants, because the servant hath not known what his lord doth, and you I have called friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I did make known to you.
9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart, And the sweetness of ones friend -- from counsel of the soul.
11 Beloved, if thus did God love us, we also ought one another to love;
12 God no one hath ever seen; if we may love one another, God in us doth remain, and His love is having been perfected in us;
6 A multitude of men proclaim each his kindness, And a man of stedfastness who doth find?
10 in the love of brethren, to one another kindly affectioned: in the honour going before one another;
24 A man with friends [is] to show himself friendly, And there is a lover adhering more than a brother!
24 Shew not thyself friendly with an angry man, And with a man of fury go not in,
25 Lest thou learn his paths, And have received a snare to thy soul.
23 and fulfilled was the Writing that is saying, And Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him -- to righteousness; and, Friend of God he was called.
1 A Song of the Ascents, by David. Lo, how good and how pleasant The dwelling of brethren -- even together!
2 As the good oil on the head, Coming down on the beard, the beard of Aaron, That cometh down on the skirt of his robes,
3 As dew of Hermon -- That cometh down on hills of Zion, For there Jehovah commanded the blessing -- Life unto the age!
4 Wealth addeth many friends, And the poor from his neighbour is separated.
12 This is my command, that ye love one another, according as I did love you;
13 greater love than this hath no one, that any one his life may lay down for his friends;
16 in this we have known the love, because he for us his life did lay down, and we ought for the brethren the lives to lay down;
17 and whoever may have the goods of the world, and may view his brother having need, and may shut up his bowels from him -- how doth the love of God remain in him?
18 My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue, but in word and in truth!
