The friend loves at all times,
but a brother is born for adversity.
A man of many friends will come to ruin,
but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Perfume and incense will gladden a heart,
and the pleasantness of one’s friend is personal advice.
As iron sharpens iron,
so one man sharpens another.
No one has greater love than this: that someone lay down his life for his friends.
You are my friends if you do what I command you.
And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness,” and he was called God’s friend.
