Proverbs 18:24 A man that has friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother. When Abraham Lincoln was a young man starting in life, it used to be said of him, "Lincoln has nothing — only plenty of friends." To have plenty of friends is to be very rich — if they are the right sort. Those are indeed blessed who have received from God this gift of making friends — a gift which involves many things, but, above all, the power of going out of one's self and seeing and appreciating whatever is noble and loving in another. Parallel Verses KJV: A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.WEB: A man of many companions may be ruined, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. |
