There is often a difference between being peaceful ​ — at peace — ​ and being peaceable. Being peaceable in the Scriptural sense implies actively promoting peace, sometimes making peace where it was previously lacking.
Oleh karena itu, dalam pengertian Alkitab, suka damai berarti menggalakkan perdamaian secara aktif, kadang - kadang membawa damai dalam suatu situasi yang sebelumnya kurang damai.
