In life, friends always help, care for and love each other. However, because of profit and different opinions and views on things, friends often have conflicts and estrangement with each other, and even turn against each other. So how can we maintain good friendships and build stronger friendships? Read these Bible verses about friendships and you will find the correct way.

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor. 10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falls; for he has not another to help him up. 11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? 12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
