The walk8
Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.
Through
Proverbs 18:24A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who stays closer than a brother.
leads to
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
Oil and incense bring joy to the heart, and the sweetness of a friend is counsel to the soul.
Through
Hebrews 12:14Pursue peace with everyone, as well as holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.
leads to
Therefore, beloved, since we have these promises, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that defiles body and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do,
For God has not called us to impurity, but to holiness.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
He must turn from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
