![]() You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.Īnd let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. ![]() 14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, 13 bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. This verse is a reminder of the importance of reaching out to those around us and offering kindness. Proverbs 18:24 states that a man who has friends must himself be friendly. 32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor.ĭo not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.” Love one another with brotherly affection. 15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. Proverbs 17:17 A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. Make no friendship with a man given to anger,Īnd the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel.
