What does the Bible say about the company we keep?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns believers to keep company with good men and avoid those who oppose God.

The Scriptures emphasize the importance of the company we keep, as found in Proverbs 2:20, which instructs us to walk in the way of good men and keep the paths of the righteous. God, in His omniscience, asks Balaam in Numbers 22:9, 'What men are these with thee?' This question serves as a reminder that God knows our associations and those we allow influence over us. Whether consciously or unconsciously, our companions shape our beliefs and actions, and we are called to discern whether we are with God's chosen or with His enemies.
