II Corinthians 4:5-7
"For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, Who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us."

"PEACE I leave with you. My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 15:27
WHY "peace" is repeated is as yet not clear in my mind. For impression? Maybe. But "His Peace which He gives – not as the world gives..." is very clear; but only clear when His Truth-Word is understood.... Often, that which the world gives would have been better never received! HE gave, and continues to give, that which goes deep into the individual's being: there to remain everlastingly, ever drawing the individual closer and deeper into the Father's Being. Because of that "gift," we shall some day be as He was: we shall perpetually hear and know HIS WILL....
Even now, IF we love Him to the extent that we LIVE IN HIS WORDS, then we never fear, neither ever get troubled. For we KNOW that our wondrous Father will only extend unto us, that which is unto our greatest GOOD.
