Bible Passages on Friendship for Children

2.
Forgive someone,
and you will
strengthen your
friendship.
Arguments
separate people
like the strong bars
of a palace gate.
Don’t get involved
in foolish, ignorant
arguments that
only start fights. A
servant of the Lord
must not quarrel
but must be kind
to everyone and
be patient with
people
(Proverbs 17:9,
Proverbs 18:19, 2
Timothy 2:23,24)

3.
When others are
happy, you should
be happy with
them. And when
others are sad, you
should be sad too.
Live together in
peace with each
other. Don’t be
proud, but be
willing to be
friends with
people who are
not important to
others. Don’t think
of yourself as
smarter than
everyone else.
(Romans 12:15-16)

4.
You can trust what your friend says, even when it hurts. The heartfelt counsel of a friend is as
sweet as perfume and incense.
A friend loves you all the time. A true friend can be better than a brother. (Proverbs 27:6,9,
Proverbs 17:17, Proverbs 18:24)

5.
Two people are better than one. When two people work together, they get more work done. If one person
falls, the other person can reach out to help. But those who are alone when they fall have no one to help
them.
So encourage each other and build each other up. Live in peace with each other. Encourage those who are
afraid. Help those who are weak. Be patient with everyone. Always try to do what is good for each other
and for all people. (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, 1 Thessalonians 5:11,13-15)
