Proverbs 27:17

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Proverbs 27:17. Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

Hence the usefulness of Christian association, and hence also the evil of sinful company, for one sinner sharpens another to do mischief, just as one saint encourages another to righteousness.
