Matthew 5:9 Douay-Rheims

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God.

Hilary of Poitiers

c. A.D. 310–367 Patristic

The blessedness of the peacemakers is the reward of adoption, they shall be called the sons of God. For God is our common parent, and no other way can we pass into His family than by living in brotherly love together.
