The Design | 18.1

Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire;

he breaks out against all sound judgment.

The Context | 13.20

He who walks with the wise becomes wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.

The Characteristics | 18.24; 27.17

A man of many companions may come to ruin,

but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Iron sharpens iron,

and one man sharpens another.

Authority.

Humility.

Responsibility.

Perspective.

Presence.

The Christ | 1 John 4.9; John 15.12-17
