Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible

partakers of the grace of God. The cherishing and increase of Christian love, and of affection one
to another, is no matter of empty compliment, but the stamp and badge of Jesus Christ on his
followers. Others may have a false peace for a time, and wicked men may wish for it to themselves
and to one another; but theirs is a vain hope, and will come to nought. All solid peace is founded
on Christ, and flows from him.
