Matthew 5:9
A peacemaker is the one who shows that the battle others see in the scriptures is agreement: old with new, legal with prophetic, gospel with gospel. Having imitated the Son of God, he will be called a son, receiving in deed the spirit of adoption (Matthew 5:9).
Greek
Εἰρηνοποιός ἐστιν ὁ τὴν ἄλλοις φαινομένην μάχην τῶν γραφῶν ἀποδεικνὺς συμφωνίαν, παλαιῶν πρὸς καινάς, νομικῶν πρὸς προφητι κάς, εὐαγγελικῶν πρὸς εὐαγγελικάς. διὸ μιμησάμενος τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ θεοῦ υἱὸς κληθήσεται ἔργῳ τὸ "πνεῦμα" τῆς "υἱοθεσίας" λαβών.
