But if you want eternal peace, and peace during times such as these, then you must submit to the Father through His Sons's sacrifice and put to the side all bitterness, envy, selfish ambition, meaningless striving, unforgiveness, strife, cursing, and pride in putting to death the old you who sought after the wisdom of the world, and put on Christ in newness of life and seek thee out the wisdom from above.

You still will have pains and trials from this world, but it is not meaningless, and through Christ that pain and trial is not eternal, but rather in His righteousness, we will have peace eternally, with "quietness and trust forever", amen.

Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom.
But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth.
This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.
For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice.
But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.
And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
