- Do not forsake your own friend or your father’s friend,
Nor go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity;
Better is a neighbor nearby than a brother far away. - A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself;
The simple pass on and are punished. - As iron sharpens iron,
So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend. - As in water face reflects face,
So a man’s heart reveals the man.
For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.Next verse!With image
