- Don’t forsake your friend and your father’s friend.
Don’t go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster.
A neighbor who is near is better than a distant brother. - A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge;
but the simple pass on, and suffer for it. - Iron sharpens iron;
so a man sharpens his friend’s countenance. - Like water reflects a face,
so a man’s heart reflects the man.
Having therefore these promises, beloved, let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come from you, and we have given you of your own.Next verse!With image
