So, then, let us pursue the things making for peace and the things that are upbuilding to one another.

If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
