Iron sharpens iron

Sharpened as if by Iron Diamonds are the hardest naturally occurring substance on earth. Hence, it takes one diamond to cut another. This may remind Bible students of the proverb that says: “By iron, iron itself is sharpened. So one man sharpens the face of another.” (Proverbs 27:17) How is a person’s face “sharpened”? One individual may succeed in sharpening the intellectual and spiritual state of another, just as a piece of iron can be used to sharpen a blade made of the same metal.

Bible verse from de ESV - Iron sharpens iron and one man sharpens another #Bible #bibleverse #christian #quote

Proverbs 27:17 (NIV) - As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.

Iron sharpens iron, true friends sharpen and strengthen each other. Grateful for those who make us better. #IronSharpensIron #FriendshipGoals #friend #friendship

“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another”

There is an interesting and perhaps convicting illustration of both friendship and accountability found in Proverbs 27:17. We can see the connections to life and in that, this verse and the principles it contains become quite useful and life-related.
