“If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.”
If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, be at peace with everyone. — Eir nē (peace, wholeness) is pursued kata to dynaton (insofar as possible) and ek humin (out of you, from your side). This acknowledges reality: not all conflicts resolve, and some antagonism is imposed from outside. Yet the Christian bears responsibility for their own peacemaking efforts.
