⁹ Isn't the whole land before you? Please separate yourself from me. If you go to the left hand, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right hand, then I will go to the left."

¹⁵ Abimelech said, "Behold, my land is before you. Dwell where it pleases you."

¹⁰ You shall dwell with us: and the land will be before you. Live and trade in it, and get possessions in it."

⁷ I am for peace, But when I speak, they are for war.

¹⁸ If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.

⁷ Therefore it is already altogether a defect in you, that you have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?

¹⁴ Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord,

¹³ Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.

¹⁴ But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast and don't lie against the truth.

¹⁵ This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.

¹⁶ For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.

¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

¹⁸ Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

⁸ Finally, be all like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous,

⁹ not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but instead blessing; knowing that to this were you called, that you may inherit a blessing.

¹⁰ For, "He who would love life, And see good days, Let him keep his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking deceit.

¹¹ Let him turn away from evil, and do good. Let him seek peace, and pursue it.

¹² For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, And his ears open to their prayer; But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."
