The Thang

“Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.”

Proverbs‬ ‭27:17‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Discussion

As one “iron” implement interfacing and interacting with another “sharpens” them both, so the interaction of two people improves them both. People who live alone or avoid the company of others fail to benefit from this helpful give and take. Sometimes it can be abrasive and unpleasant, but it usually yields a better person. This is one of the advantages of Christian fellowship (Heb. 10:25). David and Jonathan’s interactions benefited both of them. So did Paul’s contacts with Peter, Priscilla and Aquila, and his fellow missionaries.

“This proverb is one of the best-known and often-quoted verses in the book. It is often exclusively cited in connection with male friendship

The phrase from Prov. 27:17, “iron sharpens iron” is almost universally seen as  positive: wise people should be questioning, encouraging, coaching, and challenging each other.

As brothers of F3 this is how we should be leading each other. It’s not just about “tough love” and mumble chatter. The biblical concept of Iron Sharpens Iron is so that both people benefit.
