Basic Bible Breakdowns with Banabad: FRIENDSHIP

FRIEND'SHIP

1. An attachment to a person, proceeding from intimate acquaintance, and a reciprocation of kind offices, or from a favorable opinion of the amiable and respectable qualities of his mind. Friendship differs from benevolence, which is good will to mankind in general, and from that love which springs from animal appetite. True friendship is a noble and virtuous attachment, springing from a pure source, a respect for worth or amiable qualities. False friendship may subsist between bad men, as between thieves and pirates. This is a temporary attachment springing from interest, and may change in a moment to enmity and rancor.

Pro 22:24 Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go: 

Pro 22:25 Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul. 

Sir_6:17 Whoso feareth the Lord shall direct his friendship aright: for as he is, so shall his neighbour be also. 

Sir_22:20 Whoso casteth a stone at the birds frayeth them away: and he that upbraideth his friend breaketh friendship. 

Sir_29:15 Forget not the friendship of thy surety, for he hath given his life for thee.
