Wealth brings many new friends, but a poor man is deserted by his friend.

Proverbs 19:4

 

Many seek the favor of a generous man, and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.

Proverbs 19:6

 

A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Proverbs 18:24

 

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

 

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

Proverbs 17:17

 

Better is open rebuke than hidden love. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy.

Proverbs 27:5-6

 

“Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.”

Luke 17:3

 

Do not forsake your friend and your father’s friend, and do not go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity. Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother who is far away.

Proverbs 27:10

 

Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.

Proverbs 27:17

 

“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

John 15:12-13

 

You are my friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.

John 15:14-15

 

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. These things I command you, so that you will love one another.

John 15:16-17
