Some will refuse peace.
Matthew 18:15-17
If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.
Romans 12:18
If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.
Wise, Foolish, Evil - Proverbs 9:7-9; 10:17; 12:1; 15:5; 15:31-32; 17:10; 19:25; 25:11-12; 27:5-6; 28:23
