James 3:18
_ _ “The peaceable fruit of righteousness.” He says “righteousness”; because it is itself the true wisdom. As in the case of the earthly wisdom, after the characteristic description came its results; so in this verse, in the case of the heavenly wisdom. There the results were present; here, future.
_ _ fruit ... sown — Compare Psalms 97:11; Isaiah 61:3, “trees of righteousness.” Anticipatory, that is, the seed whose “fruit,” namely, “righteousness,” shall be ultimately reaped, is now “sown in peace.” “Righteousness,” now in germ, when fully developed as “fruit” shall be itself the everlasting reward of the righteous. As “sowing in peace” (compare “sown in dishonor,” 1 Corinthians 15:43) produces the “fruit of righteousness,” so conversely “the work” and “effect of righteousness” is “peace.”
_ _ of them that make peace — “by (implying also that it is for them, and to their good) them that work peace.” They, and they alone, are “blessed.” “Peacemakers,” not merely they who reconcile others, but who work peace. “Cultivate peace” [Estius]. Those truly wise towards God, while peaceable and tolerant towards their neighbors, yet make it their chief concern to sow righteousness, not cloaking men’s sins, but reproving them with such peaceable moderation as to be the physicians, rather than the executioners, of sinners [Calvin]. |
James 3:18
And the principle productive of this righteousness is sown, like good seed, in the peace of a believer's mind, and brings forth a plentiful harvest of happiness, (which is the proper fruit of righteousness,) for them that make peace — That labour to promote this pure and holy peace among all men. |
James 3:18
(10) And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
(10) Because the world persuades itself that they are miserable who live peaceably and simply: on the contrary, the apostle states that they shall eventually reap the harvest of peaceable righteousness. |
