1. Genesis 13:8

   So Abram said to Lot, “Please let there be no contention between you and me, or between your herdsmen and my herdsmen. After all, we are brothers.

   ›Commentary on Genesis 13:82 voices

   “Abraham made the division, because "the territory"—says Scripture—"was insufficient to contain them both," because they were too rich. It is a worldly vice that land is always insufficient for the rich. Nothing satisfies the greed of the rich. The richer one is, the more greedily one desires possessions. The rich man is eager to extend the boundaries of his field, to exclude his neighbor. Is this what Abraham was like? Not at all, although at the beginning he too was imperfect. For where could perfection have come from before the coming of Christ?

   “And Abram said unto Lot,....

2. Genesis 13:9

   Is not the whole land before you? Now separate yourself from me. If you go to the left, I will go to the right; if you go to the right, I will go to the left.”

   ›Commentary on Genesis 13:92 voices

   “Is not the whole land before thee - As the patriarch or head of the family, Abram, by prescriptive right, might have chosen his own portion first, and appointed Lot his; but intent upon peace, and feeling pure and parental affection for his nephew, he permitted him to make his choice first.

4. Genesis 45:24

   Then Joseph sent his brothers on their way, and as they were leaving, he said to them, “Do not quarrel on the way!”

   ›Commentary on Genesis 45:241 voice

   Now "he sent away his brothers, and they departed. And Joseph said to them, 'Be not angry on the way.' " How well he teaches us to guard against anger, for that can separate even brothers who love one another.… Is this not what our Lord Jesus said when he was about to depart from this body, when he was sending away his disciples, that they should not be angry on the way? For he says, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you."

5. Leviticus 26:6

   And I will give peace to the land, and you will lie down with nothing to fear. I will rid the land of dangerous animals, and no sword will pass through your land.

   ›Commentary on Leviticus 26:62 voices

   “Then follow the words "and I will establish peace in your lands." What peace does God give? The peace which the world possesses? Christ says he does not give that kind of peace, for he declares, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give …

6. Esther 10:3

   For Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Xerxes, preeminent among the Jews and highly favored by his many kinsmen, seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his countrymen.

7. Job 5:23

   For you will have a covenant with the stones of the field, and the wild animals will be at peace with you.

   ›Commentary on Job 5:232 voices

   “But with the stones of the countries shall be thy covenant. And the beasts of the earth shall be peacemakers to thee. The Churches of the nations are like separate countries in the world, which, while they be planted in one faith, are separated by a diversity of customs and of tongues. What then do we take the stones of the countries to mean but the Elect ones of the Church, to whom it is declared by the voice of him who was the first among the teachers, Ye also as lively stones are built up a spiritual house?

8. Job 5:24

   You will know that your tent is secure, and find nothing amiss when inspecting your home.

   ›Commentary on Job 5:241 voice

   “And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace. And thou shalt visit thy likeness, and shalt not sin. In holy Scripture full peace is described in one way, and peace in its beginning in another. For 'Truth' gave to His Disciples peace in its beginning, when He said, Peace I leave with you; My peace I give unto you. And Simeon desired to have perfect peace, when he besought saying, Now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace, according to Thy word.

9. Job 22:21

   Reconcile now and be at peace with Him; thereby good will come to you.

   ›Commentary on Job 22:212 voices

   “Be at one then with Him, and be at peace; thereby thou shalt have the best fruits. Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart. There is the sin of pride in teaching one better than one's self, which heretics are often guilty of, who touching things which they have wrong notions of, take upon them as if to instruct Catholics.

    But when He remains silent, who can condemn Him? When He hides His face, who can see Him? Yet He watches over both man and nation,

    “For when He giveth peace, who is there to condemn? since He hath hidden His face, who is there that can look on Him? Whence also, from his awe at those boundless and unfathomable judgments, he does not care to discuss them with reasoning, but to venerate them with admiration.

12. Psalms 1:1

    Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or set foot on the path of sinners, or sit in the seat of mockers.

    ›Commentary on Psalms 1:11 voice

    “The Psalter is like a great house, which has one outer key on the door, but within, in its various chambers, has its own keys. Although the one broader key of the great door is the Holy Spirit, nevertheless each single chamber has its own little keys. If, then, someone were to throw the keys of the house down in confusion, and wanted to open a chamber, he cannot unless he finds the key: so the individual psalms are like individual little cells, each having its own keys.

13. Psalms 1:2

    But his delight is in the Law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night.

    ›Commentary on Psalms 1:21 voice

    “The splendid brilliance of God's grace never suffers an eclipse. No, it is always at hand to enlighten the inner thoughts of those who really want it. Great good comes to people who, enlightened by the grace of God, make it their habit to apply the truths of holy Scripture to their lives. They receive just such a blessing as the psalmist describes.… Those blessings come because the person who accepts God's grace is not illumined by mere physical light from the sun, the moon or even the whole host of stars.
