supporting truth, and keeping peace; for on You, O Lord,

And if you had hearkened to My commandments, [then] would your peace have been like a river, and your righteousness as a wave of the sea.

And [I will cause] all your sons [to be] taught of God, and your children [to be] in great peace.

And you shall be built in righteousness; abstain from injustice, and you shall not fear; and trembling shall not come near to you.

For you shall go forth with joy, and shall be taught with gladness; for the mountains and the hills shall exalt to welcome you with joy, and all the trees of the field shall applaud with their branches.

peace upon peace to them that are far off, and to them that are close by; and the Lord has said, I will heal them.

For thus says the Lord: Behold, I turn toward them as a river of peace, and as a torrent bringing upon them in a flood the glory of the Gentiles; their children shall be borne upon the shoulders, and comforted on the knees.

[that he may] judge Your people with righteousness, and Your poor with judgment.

Let the mountains and the hills raise peace to Your people.

I will hear what the Lord God will say concerning me; for He shall speak peace to His people, and to His saints, and to those that turn their heart toward Him.

Great peace have they that love Your law; and there is no stumbling block to them.

For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and petition, along with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

Finally, brothers, as many things as are true, as many as are honorable, as many as are just, as many as are pure, as many as are lovely--if there is any virtue and if there is any praise--meditate on these things.

But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.

Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those making peace.

And many nations shall go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will tell us His way, and we will walk in it; for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord out of Jerusalem.

And He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into sickles; and nation shall not take up sword against nation, neither shall they learn to war anymore.

His government shall be great, and of His peace there is no end; [it shall be] upon the throne of David, and [upon] His kingdom, to establish it, and to support [it] with judgment and with righteousness, from this time forward and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts shall perform this.

And the wolf shall feed with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the young calf and bull and lion shall feed together; and a little child shall lead them.

And an infant shall put his hand into the holes of asps, and on the nest of young asps.

For he shall not be moved forever; the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

His heart is established, he shall not fear, till he shall see [his desire] upon his enemies.

In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence, and he leaves his children a support.

And you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I [will] take the whole house of Israel out of the midst of the nations, among whom they have gone, and I will gather them from all that are round about them, and I will bring them into the land of Israel.

And I will make them a nation in My land, even on the mountains of Israel; and they shall have one prince; and they shall be two nations no longer, neither shall they be divided anymore into two kingdoms;

And they shall dwell in their land, which I have given to My servant Jacob, where their fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell upon it; and David My servant [shall be their] prince forever.

And I will no more turn away My face from them, because I have poured out My wrath upon the house of Israel, says the Lord God.

And He shall judge among many peoples, and shall rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plow shares, and their spears into sickles; and nation shall no more lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn to war any more.

And everyone shall rest under his vine, and everyone under his fig tree; and no one shall alarm them: for the mouth of the Lord Almighty has spoken these [words].

For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience, that we have conducted ourselves in the world in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and especially toward you.

But we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until [the] end,

Therefore, brothers, be even more diligent to make your calling and election sure, for by doing these things you shall by no means stumble at any time.

For in this way the entrance will be supplied to you richly into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

Because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and He knows all things.

And whatever we should ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and we do the things pleasing before Him.

And the [one] who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, from the Spirit whom He gave us.

By this love has been perfected with us: that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because just as He is, we also are in this world.
