⁴ Adulterers and adulteresses! have ye not known that friendship of the world is enmity with God? whoever, then, may counsel to be a friend of the world, an enemy of God he is set.

¹⁰ For if they fall, the one raiseth up his companion, but wo to the one who falleth and there is not a second to raise him up!

¹⁰ in the love of brethren, to one another kindly affectioned: in the honour going before one another;

²⁴ A man with friends `is' to show himself friendly, And there is a lover adhering more than a brother!

²⁰ Whoso is walking with wise men is wise, And a companion of fools suffereth evil.

¹⁷ Iron by iron is sharpened, And a man sharpens the face of his friend.

¹¹ for I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, that ye may be established;

¹² and that is, that I may be comforted together among you, through the faith in one another, both yours and mine.

¹³ And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that many times I did purpose to come unto you -- and was hindered till the present time -- that some fruit I might have also among you, even as also among the other nations.

⁹ Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart, And the sweetness of one's friend -- from counsel of the soul.

³³ Be not led astray; evil communications corrupt good manners;

¹¹ Beloved, if thus did God love us, we also ought one another to love;

¹² God no one hath ever seen; if we may love one another, God in us doth remain, and His love is having been perfected in us;

¹³ in this we know that in Him we do remain, and He in us, because of His Spirit He hath given us.

⁹ Whoso is covering transgression is seeking love, And whoso is repeating a matter Is separating a familiar friend.

²⁸ A froward man sendeth forth contention, A tale-bearer is separating a familiar friend.

⁷ Beloved, may we love one another, because the love is of God, and every one who is loving, of God he hath been begotten, and doth know God;

¹ And David saith, `Is there yet any left to the house of Saul, and I do with him kindness because of Jonathan?'

¹³ greater love than this hath no one, that any one his life may lay down for his friends;

⁹ Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart, And the sweetness of one's friend -- from counsel of the soul.

¹⁰ Thine own friend, and the friend of thy father, forsake not, And the house of thy brother enter not In a day of thy calamity, Better `is' a near neighbour than a brother afar off.

¹¹ Be wise, my son, and rejoice my heart. And I return my reproacher a word.

¹⁷ At all times is the friend loving, And a brother for adversity is born.

⁵ Better `is' open reproof than hidden love.

⁶ Faithful are the wounds of a lover, And abundant the kisses of an enemy.

⁷ A satiated soul treadeth down a honeycomb, And `to' a hungry soul every bitter thing `is' sweet.

¹⁹ honour thy father and mother, and, thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.'

⁹ The two `are' better than the one, in that they have a good reward by their labour.

¹⁰ For if they fall, the one raiseth up his companion, but wo to the one who falleth and there is not a second to raise him up!

¹¹ Also, if two lie down, then they have heat, but how hath one heat?

¹² And if the one strengthen himself, the two stand against him; and the threefold cord is not hastily broken.

¹⁵ no more do I call you servants, because the servant hath not known what his lord doth, and you I have called friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I did make known to you.

¹⁴ To a despiser of his friends `is' shame, And the fear of the Mighty he forsaketh.

²⁴ Shew not thyself friendly with an angry man, And with a man of fury go not in,

²⁵ Lest thou learn his paths, And have received a snare to thy soul.

²⁶ Be not thou among those striking hands, Among sureties `for' burdens.

¹ A Song of the Ascents, by David. Lo, how good and how pleasant The dwelling of brethren -- even together!

¹⁰ Thine own friend, and the friend of thy father, forsake not, And the house of thy brother enter not In a day of thy calamity, Better `is' a near neighbour than a brother afar off.

¹ A Song of the Ascents, by David. Lo, how good and how pleasant The dwelling of brethren -- even together!

² As the good oil on the head, Coming down on the beard, the beard of Aaron, That cometh down on the skirt of his robes,

³ As dew of Hermon -- That cometh down on hills of Zion, For there Jehovah commanded the blessing -- Life unto the age!

¹² `This is my command, that ye love one another, according as I did love you;

⁶ God -- causing the lonely to dwell at home, Bringing out bound ones into prosperity, Only -- the refractory have inhabited a dry place.

²¹ and this `is' the command we have from Him, that he who is loving God, may also love his brother.

⁹ The two `are' better than the one, in that they have a good reward by their labour.
