Bible verses about peace

The Hebrew word for peace, shalom, means much more than quiet. It covers wholeness, safety and things being as they should be. The New Testament carries that meaning on: peace with God, the peace of mind that guards your heart, and the work of making peace between people.

The verses are grouped in that order. Each is copied word for word from the World English Bible, a public-domain translation, so you can save it as a lock screen or share it with no restrictions.
