What is a good part in the Bible that explains or talks about Friendship?

Answer 1

probably some part where they are stoning women or having incest sex with their children

Answer 2

I don't know of a particular part of the Bible that speaks about friendship, but Proverbs has many sayings that show how important and wonderful friendship can be. For instance Proverbs 18:24 says, “THERE exists a friend sticking closer than a brother.” And Provervs 17:17 tell us “A true companion is loving all the time, and is a brother that is born for when there is distress.” and “Faithful are the wounds of a friend.” (Proverbs 27:6). Proverbs also tells us of the importance of choosing wise ones as friends. It says, “He that is walking with wise persons will become wise, but he that is having dealings with the stupid ones will fare badly.” (Proverbs 13:20)

Answer 3

John 15:13 "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends."

Mark 12:31 "And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

Proverbs 27:10 "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."

these are just a couple...but there are more, just look up "friendship" on biblegateway.com

I looked this up in the Concordance-------Luke11:5
Luke 14:10----John 3:29---11:11----19:12-------Acts 12:20-----James 2:23--4:4---------Proverbs 22:24 James 4:4
Hope this helps. I know that there are many more, but I just looked in the small concordance in my Bible.
