It conveys the idea of harmony, tranquility, and the absence of conflict. In the New Testament, it often refers to the character or behavior that promotes peace and unity among individuals or within communities.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, peace (eiréné) was highly valued, often associated with the Pax Romana, a period of relative peace and stability across the Roman Empire. The concept of peace in the biblical context, however, goes beyond mere absence of war or conflict. It encompasses a holistic sense of well-being, completeness, and reconciliation with God and others. The early Christian community was called to embody this peace, reflecting the peace of Christ in their relationships and interactions.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 1516</b> <i>eirēnikós</i> – what pertains to <i>peace</i>, i.e. God's gift of <i>wholeness</i> which results from knowing (discerning) the Lord's will and obeying it. <a href="/greek/1515.htm">See 1515</a> (<i>eirēnē</i>).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1515.htm">eiréné</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>peaceful<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>peaceable (1), peaceful (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 1516: εἰρηνικός</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">εἰρηνικός</span></span>, <span class="greek2">εἰρηνική</span>, <span class="greek2">εἰρηνικόν</span>, <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">relating to peace</span>:<span class="greek2">ἐπίστημαι</span>, the arts of peace, <span class="abbreviation">Xenophon</span>, oec. 1, 17;
