4Rejoice in the Lord always: again I will say, Rejoice.
7And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
8Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

ASV | 1 Peter 3:10 - 3:12
10For, He that would love life, And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips that they speak no guile:
11And let him turn away from evil, and do good; Let him seek peace, and pursue it.
12For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, And his ears unto their supplication: But the face of the Lord is upon them that do evil.

The call to love people is also a call to pursue peace. Who wants chaos in their life? The love for others makes us want for everyone else the same thing we want for our self.
Our love for God grows in a peaceful environment, our appreciation of life grows in a peaceful environment, our intimacy with people is nurtured in a peaceful environment. May your pursuit of peace be rewarded.
