Amigo
O amigo verdadeiro é dádiva rara de Deus. Ele ama em todo tempo, fala a verdade em amor, aconselha com sabedoria e permanece fiel nas adversidades da vida.
Amizade verdadeira
Há amigo mais chegado que um irmão. Em todo tempo ama o amigo. O perfume e o incenso alegram o coração — assim o conselho doce do amigo.
A man of many friends will come to ruin,
but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
The friend loves at all times,
but a brother is born for adversity.
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.
Better a rebuke that is open
than a love that is hidden.
The wounds of a friend mean well,
but the kisses of an enemy are profane.
As for your friend and a friend of your father, do not forsake them,
and the house of your brother, do not enter on the day of your calamity.
Better is a close neighbor than a distant brother.
Walk with the wise and be wise,
but as for the companion of fools, he will suffer harm.
Do not befriend an owner of anger,
and with a man of wrath you shall not associate;
lest you learn his way
and become entangled in a snare to yourself.
Many a person will proclaim his loyalty for himself,
but a man who is trustworthy, who can find?
Wealth adds many friends,
but the poor will be left by his friends.

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. No longer do I call you slaves, because the slave does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything that I have heard from my Father I have revealed to you.
This is my commandment: that you love one another just as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this: that someone lay down his life for his friends.
Dear friends, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another. No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God resides in us and his love is perfected in us.
We have come to know love by this: that he laid down his life on behalf of us, and we ought to lay down our lives on behalf of the brothers. But whoever has the world’s material possessions and observes his brother in need and shuts his heart against him, how does the love of God reside in him?
Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth.

Friends and Family Can Help One Another in Life
Two are better than the one, for they enjoy a better reward for their toil. For if one falls, his companion may help him up. But pity the one who falls and there is no one to help him up.

Look, how good and how pleasant it is
when brothers dwell together in unity.
It is like the fragrant oil upon the head,
running down upon the beard, the beard of Aaron,
that runs down upon the edges of his robes.

upon the mountains of Zion,
because there Yahweh commanded the blessing—
life forever.

and heed your precepts.
