And Ruth said, Intreat
me not to leave thee, or to return
from following after thee: for
whither thou goest, I will go; and
where thou lodgest, I will lodge:
thy people shall be my people, and
thy God my God: Where thou diest, will
I die, and there will I be buried:
the LORD do so to me, and more
also, if ought but death part thee
and me.
(Ruth 1:16,17)
After David had finished talking
with Saul, Jonathan became one in
spirit with David, and he loved
him as himself. From that day Saul
kept David with him and did not
let him return to his father's
house. And Jonathan made a
covenant with David because he
loved him as himself. Jonathan
took off the robe he was wearing
and gave it to David, along with
his tunic, and even his sword, his
bow and his belt.
(1 Samuel 18:1-4)
When Hiram king of Tyre heard that
Solomon had been anointed king to
succeed his father David, he sent
his envoys to Solomon, because he
had always been on friendly terms
with David.
(1 Kings 5:1)
"A despairing man should have the
devotion of his friends, even
though he forsakes the fear of the
Almighty.
(Job 6:14)
He hath put my brethren
far from me, and mine acquaintance
are verily estranged from me. My kinsfolk have
failed, and my familiar friends
have forgotten me. They that dwell in mine
house, and my maids, count me for
a stranger: I am an alien in their
sight. I called my servant,
and he gave me no answer; I
intreated him with my mouth. My breath is strange to
my wife, though I intreated for
the children's sake of mine own
body. Yea, young children
despised me; I arose, and they
spake against me. All my inward friends
abhorred me: and they whom I loved
are turned against me. My bone cleaveth to my
skin and to my flesh, and I am
escaped with the skin of my teeth. Have pity upon me, have
pity upon me, O ye my friends; for
the hand of God hath touched me. Why do ye persecute me
as God, and are not satisfied with
my flesh?
(Job 19:13-22)

Thine own friend, and
thy father's friend, forsake not;
neither go into thy brother's
house in the day of thy calamity:
for better is a neighbour that is
near than a brother far off.
(Proverbs 27:10)

And if one prevail
against him, two shall withstand
him; and a threefold cord is not
quickly broken.

Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my
fellow workers in Christ Jesus.
They risked their lives for me.
Not only I but all the churches of
the Gentiles are grateful to them.

But I trust in the Lord
Jesus to send Timotheus shortly
unto you, that I also may be of
good comfort, when I know your
state. For I have no man
likeminded, who will naturally
care for your state. But ye know the proof
of him, that, as a son with the
father, he hath served with me in
the gospel.
(Philippians 2:19,20,22)

Yet I supposed it
necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and
companion in labour, and
fellowsoldier, but your messenger,
and he that ministered to my
wants.
(Philippians 2:25)

painful truth through loving
words, that is friendship.

a business founded on friendship.
