TROPANG OP

last night... we had a household at our unit head's place...

the topic for discussion was soo cool...

its about friendship....

and here are the words...




SIRACH 6:5-17

² A kind mouth multiplies friends, and gracious lips prompt friendly greetings.

6

Let your acquaintances be many, but one in a thousand your confidant.

7

When you gain a friend, first test him, and be not too ready to trust him

8

For one sort of friend is a friend when it suits him, but he will not be with you in time of distress.

9

Another is a friend who becomes an enemy, and tells of the quarrel to your shame.

10

Another is a friend, a boon companion, who will not be with you when sorrow comes.

11

When things go well, he is your other self, and lords it over your servants;

12

But if you are brought low, he turns against you and avoids meeting you.

13

Keep away from your enemies; be on your guard with your friends.

14

A faithful friend is a sturdy shelter; he who finds one finds a treasure.

15

A faithful friend is beyond price, no sum can balance his worth.

16

A faithful friend is a life-saving remedy, such as he who fears God finds;

17

For he who fears God behaves accordingly, and his friend will be like himself.
