Peace

Peace is completeness, soundness, and well-being of a whole person. Christians are to be at peace with others,Mark 9:50 which happens to be healthy for a person's body.Proverbs 14:30 Christians are to live at peace not with just anyone they want, but with everyone to the best of their ability and whenever possible.Romans 12:18, 14:19
A Christian can find peace from loving God's law.Psalm 119:165 It is a fruit of righteousness Isaiah 32:17 and of the Spirit,Galatians 5:21 so it is evidence of righteousness and Holy Spirit in their lives. The peace that comes from God is beyond anyone's understanding.Philippians 4:7 Christians also get peace from discipline, for it produces a harvest of peace and righteousness for those trained by discipline.Hebrews 12:11 Righteousness and peace are found together here because of peace being a fruit of righteousness, as mentioned above.
Christians are to seek peace and pursue it Psalm 34:14 through righteousness. Those who seek peace find peace when they love God's law. Holy Spirit gives peace to those who want (and even need) peace in a way that cannot be understood. Like a loving Father, God has Christians' best interests in mind when He commanded them to live in peace; recall that it gives life to the body. Jesus said that those who seek will find Matthew 7:7 so Christians should seek and pursue peace.
