Mt 5, 9English original
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
(Retract. i. 19.) No man can attain in this life that there be not in his members a law resisting the law of his mind. But the peacemakers attain thus far by overcoming the lusts of the flesh, that in time they come to a most perfect peace.
