This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_18:24 A man [that hath] friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend [that] sticketh closer than a brother.
Ver. 24. A man that hath friends, &c.] For Cos amoris amor, Love is the whetstone, or loadstone rather, of love. Marce, ut ameris, ama. {a} Love is a coin that must be returned in kind.
And there is a friend, &c.] Such a friend is as one’s own soul, {Deu_13:6} a piece so just cut for him, as answers him rightly in every joint. This is a rare happiness.
{a} Martial.
