Ephesians 2:17

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

If the house deserves it, the peace you wish it will come over it, but if it does not deserve it, your blessing will come back upon yourselves.

"Glory to God in heaven and on earth! Peace to the men he favors!"

And when he finds it, he puts it on his shoulders with joy,

for the promise of it belongs to you and your children, as well as to all those far away whom the Lord our God calls to him."

He has sent his message to Israel's descendants, and made the good news of peace known to them through Jesus Christ. He is Lord of us all.

So as we have been made upright by faith, let us live in peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

It is for Christ, therefore, that I am an envoy, seeing that God makes his appeal through me. On Christ's behalf I beg you to be reconciled to God.

Whenever you go to stay at a house, first say, 'Peace to this household!'
