Of God] Peace is said to be of God in divers respects. 1. Because our peace should be such as may stand with the glory of God, so we should seek the truth and peaced. 2. It may be said to be of God because he commandeth ite. 3. Because he giveth it, he is the author of it; hence peace is said to be a fruit of the spiritf: and God is said to be the God of peaceg. In this last sense I think it is meant here.
