James 3:18

The fruit of righteousness is sown (spread/scattered) in peace (complete harmony) by (for, to) those who create (produce, bring about) [actively work for] peace (complete harmony).
[The expression "fruit of righteousness" is taken from the Old Testament, see Prov 11:30; Amos 6:12 and also appears in Phil. 1:11. Righteousness and peace belong together, see Isa. 32:17; Heb. 12:11. The Greek here can be interpreted as meaning that the fruit of righteousness (in the singular) can be sown both by and for peacemakers, see also Matt. 5:9. The seed that yields a harvest of righteousness will always be sown in peace by/for those who actively work for peace – the peace that brings complete harmony, see John 14:27.]
