To have a friend is to be a friend. You can never have enough friends, but you can have too few. Be zealous, enthusiastic and accepting, making the needs of your friends your own and helping them, caring for one another in the same loving fellowship as Christ cares for you. You see, it is far easier to introduce a friend to the Lord than an enemy. Make many friends.
Your love must be real. Hate what is evil, and hold on to what is good. Love each other like brothers and sisters. Give each other more honor than you want for yourselves. Romans 12:9-10
Christ accepted you, so you should accept each other, which will bring glory to God. Romans 15:7
Now, brothers and sisters, I say good-bye. Try to be complete. Do what I have asked you to do. Agree with each other, and live in peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you. 2 Corinthians 13:11
Keep on loving each other as brothers and sisters. Hebrews 13:1
So if we say we have fellowship with God, but we continue living in darkness, we are liars and do not follow the truth. But if we live in the light, as God is in the light, we can share fellowship with each other. Then the blood of Jesus, God’s Son, cleanses us from every sin. 1 John 1:6-7
