Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken. ~Ecclesiastes 4:9–12
There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me. ~John 15:13–15
