Romans 14:19

Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

Let us {G1377} therefore {G686}{G3767} follow after {G1377} the things which make for {G3588} peace {G1515}, and {G2532} things wherewith {G1519} one {G240} may edify {G3619} another {G240}.

So then, let us pursue the things that make for shalom and mutual upbuilding.

So then, let us pursue what leads to peace and to mutual edification.

So then let us follow after things which make for peace, and things whereby we may edify one another.
