1. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. ---Romans 12:10
2. A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than brother. ---Proverbs 18:24
3. Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of one's friend springs from his earnest counsel. ---Proverbs 27:9
4. Jesus said, "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. ---John 15:13-15
5. A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. ---Proverbs 17:17
6. He who loves a pure heart and whose speech is gracious will have the king for his friend. ---Proverbs 22-11
7. Jesus tells us to love everyone, even our enemies (Luke 6:27, 35). But Proverbs 13:20 says that if we are to grow wise, we must walk with wise people. If we choose "fools" as companions, we'll suffer harm. A "companion" is much more than an acquaintance; he or she is one who becomes a close friend. Our companions are either making us wiser or leading us right into harm's way. The Bible dosen't contradict itself at all on this issue. Love your neighbor. Love your enemy. But choose your friends with care.
