And when you go into a household, greet it.
And thus you shall say to him who lives in prosperity: ‘Peace be to you, peace to your house, and peace to all that you have!
Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.
The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all—
but I hope to see you shortly, and we shall speak face to face. Peace to you. Our friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces.”
For the sake of my brethren and companions, I will now say, “Peace be within you.”
As for them, whether they hear or whether they refuse—for they are a rebellious house—yet they will know that a prophet has been among them.
“Now whatever city or town you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there till you go out.
If the household is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
