Matthew 5:9
Peacemakers are also those who persuade unbelievers to believe, making God’s former enemies at peace with him. They are called peacemakers who persuade unbelievers to believe God.
Greek
Ἔν τισι τὸ μετανοεῖτε οὐ κεῖται. εἰ δὲ τὰ αὐτὰ ὁ σωτὴρ Ἰω άννῃ λέγει, εἷς ὁ πέμψας ἀμφοτέρους θεός. καὶ τάχα Ἰωάννης μὲν ὡς "ἑτοιμάζων" θεῷ "κατεσκευασμένον" πρῶτος λέγει μετανοεῖτε, Ἰη σοῦς δὲ ἡτοιμασμένα παραλαβὼν μηκέτι δεόμενα μετανοίας οὐ λέγει μετανοεῖτε. οὐκ ἀντικηρύσσων δὲ νόμῳ καὶ προφήταις, πληρώσαντι δὲ Ἰωάννῃ τὴν παλαιὰν κηρύσσειν ἤρξατο τὴν νέαν, αὐτὸς ἀρχὴ γενό μενος αὐτῆς. διὸ ἐπὶ Ἰωάννου οὐ γέγραπται τὸ ἤρξατο· πέρας γὰρ ἦν. καὶ ὅτι ὁ μὲν ἐν ἐρήμῳ κηρύσσει, ὁ δὲ ἐν λαῷ. ἡ δὲ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν οὐκ ἐν τόπῳ ἐστίν, ἐν δὲ διαθέσει· "ἐντὸς" γὰρ "ἡμῶν ἐστιν". ὅρα δὲ εἰ Ἰωάννης μὲν κηρύσσει ἐγγίζουσαν βασιλείαν οὐρανῶν, βασι λεὺς Χριστὸς ἣν παραδώσει "τῷ θεῷ καὶ πατρί".
