Peace And Peacemakers

Μακάροι οἱ εἰρηνοποιοὶ, ὅτι αὐτοὶ υἱοὶ Θεοῦ κληθήσονται. Οὐ μόνον οἱ εἰρηνεύοντες αὐτοὶ πρὸς πάντας, ἀλλὰ καὶ οἱ ἑτέρους στασιάζοντας καταλλάσσοντες. Εἰρηνοποιοὶ δὲ εἰσι καὶ οἱ διὰ διδασκαλίας τοὺς ἐχθροὺς τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐπιστρέφοντες. Υἱοὶ δὲ Θεοῦ οἱ τοιοῦτοι. Καὶ γὰρ καὶ ὁ μονογενὴ; κατήλλαξεν ἡμᾶς τῷ Θεῷ. Θεοφύλακτος Αχρίδος, Ἑρμηνεία Εἰς Τὸ Κατὰ Ματθαιον, Κεφαλὴ E' Source: Migne PG 123.189a

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. 1 Not only those who are at peace with everyone, but also those who reconcile those who are hostile. Indeed peacemakers are those who convert enemies to the teaching of God. They are such sons of God. For even the Only Begotten reconciled us with God. Theophylact of Ochrid, Commentary On The Gospel Of Saint Matthew, Chapter 5 1 Mt 5.9
