If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
As far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
Psalm 34:14

Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
Peace is not only received but pursued: turn from evil, do good, seek peace and go after it.
KJVPsalm 34:14 in context
11Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord. 12What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? 13Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. 14Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. 15The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. 16The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. 17The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
