May peace be with you; my peace I give to you: I give it not as the world gives. Let not your heart be troubled; let it be without fear.
And let the peace of Christ be ruling in your hearts, as it was the purpose of God for you to be one body; and give praise to God at all times.
I have said all these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble: but take heart! I have overcome the world.
Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. May the Lord be with you all.
Now may the God of hope make you full of joy and peace through faith, so that all hope may be yours in the power of the Holy Spirit.
For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace:
If only you had given ear to my orders, then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness as the waves of the sea:
Do not give her up, and she will keep you; give her your love, and she will make you safe.
I will give ear to the voice of the Lord; for he will say words of peace to his people and to his saints; but let them not go back to their foolish ways.

For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Then he said to them, Go away now, and take the fat for your food and the sweet for your drink, and send some to him for whom nothing is made ready: for this day is holy to our Lord: and let there be no grief in your hearts; for the joy of the Lord is your strong place.
He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give of the secret manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name, of which no one has knowledge but he to whom it is given.
And a heritage fair, holy and for ever new, waiting in heaven for you, Who, by the power of God are kept, through faith, for that salvation, which will be seen at the last day.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I will give the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him who is near and to him who is far off, says the Lord; and I will make him well. But the evil-doers are like the troubled sea, for which there is no rest, and its waters send up earth and waste. There is no peace, says my God, for the evil-doers.
John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from him who is and was and is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his high seat;
The things which came to you by my teaching and preaching, and which you saw in me, these things do, and the God of peace will be with you.
So will my word be which goes out of my mouth: it will not come back to me with nothing done, but it will give effect to my purpose, and do that for which I have sent it. For you will go out with joy, and be guided in peace: the mountains and the hills will make melody before you, and all the trees of the fields will make sounds of joy.
