So then, let’s follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.

If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.

For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.
