In the context in which the saying is placed, it appears to mean that a cohort of three comrades is more likely to find some success over against the slings and arrows of life than a set of two companions can achieve, and rather more likely to be successful than a single individual trying to get through life all alone could possibly be. A cord of just one strand is easily breakable; a cord of two strands is slightly less vulnerable; but a threefold cord is a more formidable and durable thing altogether.
