    This is My commandment, that you love one anotheras I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this,than to lay down ones life for his friends.

No longerdo I call you servants, for a servant does not knowwhat his master is doing; but I have called youfriends, for all things that I heard from My Father I

    have made known to you. - John 15:12-15

    True Friends Strengthen and Help Each Other

    Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can

    together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone? A person standing alone can be

    attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-

    braided cord is not easily broken.

    Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

    Two are better than one,

    because they have a good return for their work:

    If one falls down,his friend can help him up.

    But pity the man who falls

    and has no one to help him up!

    Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.

    But how can one keep warm alone?

    Though one may be overpowered,

    two can defend themselves.

    A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

    Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
