Proverbs 27:5 NKJV

Proverbs 27:5 NKJV

There is such, a correction given in love by a true friend filled with zeal and courage that is far better than insincere acts of affections.  It is dangerous to be caressed and flattered by one, whose kisses are deceitful.   A reproving to them for what they say and do amiss, this is really better, and far greater than secret love.   Faithful are the reproofs of a friend, though for the present time they are very painful as an open wound.  It is a sign that our friends are faithful indeed if, in love to our souls, they will not suffer sin upon us, nor let us alone to stay in it.
