You need team members in your life to …
… compensate for your weaknesses.
“Two are better than one ...” (Ecclesiastes 4:9)
“For I want very much to see you, so I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you, that is, to be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine.” (Romans 1:11-12)
… bring out the best in you.
“Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.” (Proverbs 27:17)
… to get more done.
“Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their efforts.” [HCSB]
“Two people are always better than one, because they can accomplish more by working together.” [NCV]
(Ecclesiastes 4:9)
… to help you get back up when you fall or get discouraged.
“For if either falls, his companion can lift him up; but pity the one who falls without another to lift him up.” [HCSB]
“If you fall, a companion can help you get up. But if you fall by yourself you’re in real trouble because there’s no one to help you.” [CEV]
(Ecclesiastes 4:10)
… to resist attacks and criticism.
“And if someone overpowers one person, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not easily broken.” (Ecclesiastes 4:12)
