About εἰρήνη (eirḗnē)

In the New Testament, eirēnē usually carries the weight of the Hebrew shalom behind it — not just an absence of conflict, but a settled wholeness and well-being. It's the word Jesus uses when he tells his disciples "peace I leave with you" (John 14:27), and the word Paul uses when he promises that "the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds" (Philippians 4:6-7). Both times, it's tied directly to trusting God with something specific, not just feeling calm in general.
