On Peaceableness

   Matthew 5:38-47    "You have heard that it was said, 'An eye 
   for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' {39} "But I tell you not 
   to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right 
   cheek, turn the other to him also. {40} "If anyone wants to sue 
   you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also. 
   {41} "And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. 
   {42} "Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to 
   borrow from you do not turn away. {43} "You have heard that it 
   was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 
   {44} "But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who 
   curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those 
   who spitefully use you and persecute you, {45} "that you may be 
   sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the 
   evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the 
   unjust. {46} "For if you love those who love you, what reward 
   have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? {47} "And 
   if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than 
   others? Do not even the tax collectors do so?

   But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then

   peace.    Jas. 3:17,18
