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.
24 A man who has friends may be broken up, but there is a Lover who sticks closer than a brother.
17 A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for the time of trouble.
9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart; so does the sweetness of one's friend by advice from the heart.
17 Iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the face of his friend.
5 Open rebuke [is] better than secret love.6 Faithful [are] the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy [are] deceitful.
10 Your own friend, and your father's friend, do not forsake them; nor go to your brother's house in the day of your trouble; better [is] a neighbor that is near than a brother far off.
20 He who walks with the wise shall be wise, but a companion [with] fools shall be destroyed.
24 Make no friendship with an angry man; and you shall not go up with a man of fury,25 lest you learn his ways and get a snare to your soul.
6 Most men will proclaim each his own goodness, but a faithful man who can find?
4 Wealth makes many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbor.
Jesus, o amigo
Já não vos chamo servos, mas amigos. O maior amor é dar a vida pelo amigo. Jesus é o amigo que nunca falha.
13 No one has greater love than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master does. But I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.
12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.13 No one has greater love than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwells in us, and His love is perfected in us.
16 By this we have known the love [of God], because He laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down [our] lives for the brothers.17 But whoever has this world's goods and sees his brother having need, and shuts up his bowels from him, how does the love of God dwell in him?18 My children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.
23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness, and he was called the friend of God.
10 in brotherly love to one another, loving fervently, having led one another in honor.
Companheiros de fé
Dois são melhores do que um. Os companheiros de fé se fortalecem mutuamente e caminham juntos com o Senhor.
9 Two [are] better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor.10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him [who is] alone when he falls, for he does not have another to help him.
1 A Song of degrees; of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant [it is] for brothers to dwell together in unity!2 [It is] like the precious ointment on the head that ran down on the beard, Aaron's beard, that went down to the mouth of his garments;3 like the dew of Hermon that came down on the mountains of Zion; for there the LORD commanded the blessing, life forevermore.
63 I [am] a companion of all who fear You, and of those who keep Your commandments.
3 And Jonathan and David cut a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
33 Do not be deceived; evil companionships corrupt good habits.
