The Iron Friendship

Proverbs 27:17

• Iron

Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

Deuteronomy 23:6

Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever.

James 4:4

Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

Proverbs 27:17-27

• Eye
• Milk
• Food

Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured. As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man. Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied. read more As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise. Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him. Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds. For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation? The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered. The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field. And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens. show less

John 15:14

Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

Proverbs 18:19

A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
