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.
Greek
Οὐ διὰ δειλίαν δὲ ὑπεχώρησεν, ἀλλ' ἡμᾶς δι' ὧν ἐποίει διδάσκων ὑποχωρεῖν τοῖς διώκουσιν. ἀναχωρεῖ δὲ ἐκ τῆς Ἰουδαίας ἐπὶ τὰ ἔθνη, δεικνὺς ὅτι οὐ μόνον ὅταν εἰς αὐτὸν τὸν θεὸν ἐνυβρίσωσιν Ἰουδαῖοι ἀφίσταται αὐτῶν, ἀλλὰ καὶ ὅτε εἰς τοὺς ἁγίους προφήτας ἁμαρτάνουσιν. φῶς δὲ μέγα ἐστὶ Χριστὸς ὁ κύριος ἡμῶν καὶ ἡ φαιδρότης τοῦ εὐαγγε λικοῦ κηρύγματος, οὐ μὴν ὁ νόμος, ὃς λύχνῳ ἦν ἀπεικασθείς. διὸ ἀεὶ ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ λύχνος ἐκαίετο διὰ τὸ βραχὺ τῆς τοῦ νόμου αὐγῆς ἄχρι μόνων τῶν Ἰουδαϊκῶν ὅρων ἰσχύων ἐκπέμψαι τὸ ἴδιον φῶς. οὐκοῦν οἱ ἐθνικοὶ ἐν σκότει ἦσαν ὡς μηδὲ τὸ λυχνιαῖον ἔχοντες φῶς.
