ειρήνη με την ησυχαστική έννοια της εσωτερικής ή νοερής ησυχίας (μυστικιστική παράδοση)

Peace

Relational peace with God through justification (Romans 5:1). Greek Orthodox mystical tradition (Hesychasm, ἡσυχασμός, associated with Mount Athos and Gregory Palamas) developed ‘ἡσυχία’ (stillness/inner quiet) as a technical contemplative category; ensure ‘ειρήνη’ is not read primarily through this mystical-contemplative lens rather than Romans’ relational, forensic sense.
