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 and his friends may be broken up, but there is a love that sticks closer than a brother.
17 A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
9 Ointment and perfume make the heart glad; so does the sweetness of advice from the soul of ones friend.
17 As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.
5 Open rebuke is better than love carefully concealed.6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
10 Do not forsake your own friend or your fathers friend, nor go to your brothers house in the day of your calamity; better is a neighbor that is near than a brother afar off.
20 He who walks with the wise will be wise, but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
24 Make no friendship with an angry man; and do not go with a man of fury,25 lest you learn his ways and get a snare to your soul.
6 Most men will proclaim each one his own goodness, but who can find a faithful man?
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 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down ones 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 a servant does not know what his master does; but I have called you friends, for all things that I hear from My Father I make known to you.
12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I love you.13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down ones life for his friends.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.
16 By this we know the love of God, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.17 But whoever has this worlds goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?18 My little 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 accounted to him for righteousness. And he was called, Friend of God.
10 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, leading the way before 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 companion; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he does not have another to help him up.
1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!2 It is like the precious oil upon the head, running down on the beard, the beard of Aaron, running down to the edge of his garments.3 It is like the dew of Hermon, descending upon the mountains of Zion; for there Jehovah commanded the blessing; life forevermore.
63 I am a companion of all who fear You, and of those who keep Your Precepts.
3 And Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
33 Do not be led astray: Evil company corrupts good character.
