Judges 11:14

But Jephthah sent messengers again to the king of the sons of Ammon,

I am for peace, but when I speak,
They are for war.

If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men.

Pursue peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord.

“He must turn away from evil and do good;
He must seek peace and pursue it.
