• Romans 12:16-21
    Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion. Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
    If he is thirsty, give him a drink;
    For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head."
    Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
     
  • Hebrews 12:14
    Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:
     
  • Ephesians 4:2-3
    with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
     
  • James 3:17-18
    But the wisdom that is 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 who make peace.
     
  • Matthew 5:9
    Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.

     
  • Psalm 34:14-22
    Depart from evil and do good;
    Seek peace and pursue it. The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous,
    And His ears are open to their cry.
    The face of the LORD is against those who do evil,
    To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears,
    And delivers them out of all their troubles.
    The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart,
    And saves such as have a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
    But the LORD delivers him out of them all.
    He guards all his bones;
    Not one of them is broken.
    Evil shall slay the wicked,
    And those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
    The LORD redeems the soul of His servants,
    And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned.
     
  • Proverbs 15:1
    A soft answer turns away wrath,
    But a harsh word stirs up anger.
