vredestichters ⇒ vrede stichters = actief

The Greek word εἰρηνοποιός (eirēnopoios) means “peacemaker,” a person who actively makes or promotes peace, harmony, and reconciliation, derived from eirene (peace) and poieo (to make/do). It's an active, positive term for someone who works to bring people or nations together, famously appearing in Matthew 5:9 as a blessing for those who are peacemakers.

• Literal Meaning: One who makes peace.
  
• Components: From eirēnē (peace, wholeness) and poieō (to make, to do).
• Application: Describes someone who actively seeks reconciliation, not just someone who avoids conflict (a “peacekeeper”).
• Biblical Context: In Matthew 5:9, it refers to those who bring God's peace and unity through Jesus Christ.
