I decided to go to Biblegateway.com to look at Scriptures with \u201cfriend\u201d in them. \u00a0There are 170 verses in the NIV translation with that term and many more with references to friendship. \u00a0Some verses refer to betrayal or jealousy, while others refer to intimacy. \u00a0The verses I pulled out refer to the personal friendship with God and Jesus that means \u201c<em><span style=\"color: #800080;\">all the world to me<\/span><\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Even now my Witness is in Heaven; my Advocate is on high.<br \/>\nMy Intercessor is my friend, as my eyes pour out tears to God;<br \/>\non behalf of a man He pleads with God as one pleads for a friend.<br \/>\nJob 16:19-20<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">A friend loves at all times,\u2026<br \/>\nProverbs 17:17<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u2026there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.<br \/>\nProverbs 18:24<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">One who loves a pure heart and who speaks with grace<br \/>\nwill have the King for a friend.<br \/>\nProverbs 22:11<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">When Jesus saw their faith, he said, \u201cFriend, your sins are forgiven.\u201d<br \/>\nLuke 5:20<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one\u2019s life for one\u2019s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master\u2019s business.
