5 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “brother” →
A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.
A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
Thine own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother’s house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
