If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.

Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.

Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.

Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.

For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.

Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;

Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
