Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 8. For any brethren and companions' sakes ] Because this city is the abode of my kinsfolk and countrymen, I will wish it prosperity. I will promote its peace and tranquillity by all means in my power. I will affectionately say, May peace be within thee!
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-9 - Those who can do nothing else for the peace of Jerusalem, may pray for it. Let us consider all who seek the glory of the Redeemer, as ou brethren and fellow-travellers, without regarding differences which d not affect our eternal welfare. Blessed Spirit of peace and love, wh didst dwell in the soul of the holy Jesus, descend into his church, an fill those who compose it with his heavenly tempers; cause bitte contentions to cease, and make us to be of one mind. Love of the brethren and love to God, ought to stir us up to seek to be like the Lord Jesus in fervent prayer and unwearied labour, for the salvation of men, and the Divine glory _________________________________________________
