Usage: The verb εἰρηνεύω (eiréneuó) is used in the New Testament to describe the state of being at peace or living in harmony. It implies an active maintenance of peace, whether within oneself, among individuals, or within a community. The term suggests not only the absence of conflict but also the presence of positive, harmonious relationships.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, peace (εἰρήνη) was highly valued, often associated with the Pax Romana, the long period of relative peace and stability across the Roman Empire. In Jewish thought, peace (shalom) was a comprehensive concept encompassing well-being, wholeness, and harmony with God and others. The early Christian community, emerging in this context, emphasized peace as a fruit of the Spirit and a hallmark of the Kingdom of God, reflecting the peace that Christ Himself embodied and imparted to His followers.
