Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: So doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.
Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; Neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: For better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; But he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.
And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; But he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; Lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.
The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: But the way of the wicked seduceth them.
He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: But a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.
He that loveth pureness of heart, For the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: And there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
