'Friends' in the Bible

For if, when we were haters of God, the death of his Son made us at peace with him, much more, now that we are his friends, will we have salvation through his life;

For, if by their putting away, the rest of men have been made friends with God, what will their coming back again be, but life from the dead?

Friends, do not avenge yourselves; instead, leave room for His wrath. For it is written: Vengeance belongs to Me; I will repay, says the Lord.

friends who have endangered their own lives for mine. I am grateful to them, and not I alone, but all the Gentile Churches also.
