Galatians 6:16
King James Version
7 Jun 2026
“And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.”
εἰρήνη
The Greek eirene carries the Hebrew shalom — wholeness, completeness, nothing missing, nothing broken. Jesus says in Me you have eirene — not in the absence of trouble, but in the middle of it. The peace He gives is not the peace of circumstances. It is the peace of His presence.
