Friendship Bible Verses

A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Do not make friends with a hot-tempered man, do not associate with one easily angered,  or you may learn his ways and get yourself ensnared.

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work:  If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.  Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.  You are my friends if you do what I command.  I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.

As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.

A righteous man is cautious in friendship, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.

You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.

Oh, for the days when I was in my prime, when God's intimate friendship blessed my house,  when the Almighty was still with me and my children were around me,  when my path was drenched with cream and the rock poured out for me streams of olive oil.
